Kit the Pumpkin Cat

 
 

 
This is Kit the cat, loves Halloween, got all dressed up and is ready to go trick or treating! To make Kit I used a 3 mm hook, stuffing, tapestry needle, 10 mm safety eyes and Dk yarn in dark gray, orange, green and a little bit of pink.

If you love Kit the pumpkin cat, you may also like Beau the pumpkin bear.
 
The doll is going to measure 12 cm / 4,7 inches tall.

  2. when it says SC Inc is that a single crochet and then a increase or just an increase? for rnd 2?

    1. It is just an increase. To clarify the way the pattern is written is for example when you have *1 sc, sc inc* means 1 stitch with no increases and then an increase (since it is written in between the ** that means you'll repeat this all throughout the round). I write it as 'sc inc' because I want the increase to be of single crochet and not another stitch. Hope this is clear but let me know if not!
