11. *sc dc in each sc* around (7)
Fasten off and leave long tail to
attach to face.
Assemble as pictured. While head is still un-stuffed, embroider the
eyes. I make mine between the 10th and 11th row, counting
from top of head, down.
Attach the muzzle (with nose and mouth embroidered) right below eyes.
Use pictures as guides.
Note about the feet and arms: I start with the ‘paw’ color, then, at
the decrease, I change to the cat’s main color.
Adding pellets to the body, arms, and legs is optional, but it makes
great to have your cat weighed down. Just make sure the stitches aren’t big if
giving to a small child. The pellets can slip through the holes and make for
choking hazard. I wouldn’t give weighed toys to children under 5, but that’s my
personal opinion.

This is NOT my pattern.
However, the creations below ARE aminekos I've made.
