About the Author

tools & materials

Yarn

When it comes to yarn for your toy projects, think quality over

quantity. Look for high-quality yarns that will crochet into a

smooth and sturdy material. Easy-to-clean and/or washing-

machine-safe cottons, blended fibers, and acrylic yarns are

ideal for making toys. 150–175 yards of your cat’s main color

and 50–70 yards of the secondary colors should be enough to

cover each pattern.

Stuffing

Available in most craft stores, polyester fiberfill stuffing will

maintain its loft over time and is easy to clean and care for.

Hooks

Crochet hooks come in a variety of materials, sizes, and

handle styles. It’s ideal if you can try a hook or two out before

purchasing a set. For the most accurate sizing, refer to the

millimeter measurements when selecting a hook for your

project.

The projects in this book can be made with either a G/6 4mm

or F/5 3.75mm hook (whichever gives you a tighter stitch for

your yarn). If you find that your stitches are still not tight

enough, or the stuffing shows though your work, try going

down one or two more hook sizes.

Scissors

A good pair of scissors will make for clean cuts and quick

snips.
