Cat Snap Bracelet

Materials

  • Sweet Snuggles Lite (45 yds MC, 11 yds CC)
  • Size 4.5 mm hook
  • Tapestry needle
  • Two Snap Bracelets
  • Poly Fil
  • Acrylic yarn for nose/mouth/blush
  • Safety Eyes (10mm)

Stitches

  • sc – single crochet

  • sl st – slip stitch

This pattern was made with the yarn under, yarn over technique.

After inserting your hook through the stitch grab the yarn so that it is under the hook (see picture) instead of wrapping it over the hook. This creates a shorter, denser stitch for amigurumi. It will affect gauge

The pattern is worked in continuous rounds

The finished object from this pattern is not intended for children under 3
