Crocheting is a hobby that you can do magic with. With just a hook, some thread, and a little imagination, you can bring anything to life. One of the best things you can do is stuffed animals.

Known as amigurumi, these toys come in all kinds of shapes, but one of the most popular designs is cats. The process of crocheting cats is pretty straightforward, although the end result is sure to impress and surprise. Some patterns start with a magic circle, while others are just a series of simple stitches. If you’re not sure if you can follow a pattern, many come with an instructional video tutorial to guide the process.

Just like real cats, amigurumi patterns all have their own personalities. Check out some of our top picks and discover which cat talks to you the most, then start crocheting!
