Crochet Pattern: Myllu Kitten Amigurumi by Ternura Amigurumi

What Is Being Made

The Myllu kitten is an amigurumi toy designed by Ternura Amigurumi. This finished crochet project stands approximately 15 centimeters in height, making it a small, portable stuffed toy perfect for decoration, gifts, or play. Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting small, three-dimensional stuffed animals and creatures using tight stitching and spiral construction techniques.

Crochet Techniques Used

This intermediate-level pattern employs fundamental amigurumi construction methods. The body is worked in a continuous spiral using the magic ring technique to create a seamless foundation. The pattern utilizes color changes throughout the construction, transitioning between gray, turquoise, and blue yarn to create visual interest and definition in the finished kitten. The spiral construction method allows for organic shaping without visible seams, which is essential to the amigurumi style.

The pattern demonstrates the increase and decrease techniques used to shape the three-dimensional form. Increases are distributed evenly across rounds to expand the body, while decreases are strategically placed to reduce stitch counts and create the narrowing sections that form the kitten's proportions.

Stitches Used

• Chain stitch (ch) – The foundational stitch used to create the magic ring base
• Single crochet (sc) – The primary stitch throughout the pattern, worked in continuous rounds to build the body structure
• Slip stitch (s.t) – Also referred to as dwarf stitch in the pattern, used for joining and finishing
• Increase (inc) – Two single crochets worked into the same stitch to expand the fabric
• Decrease (dec) – Single crochet two together to reduce stitch count and shape the form

Materials and Tools

The Myllu kitten pattern requires 100% acrylic yarn in multiple colors: gray, turquoise, blue, and black. The yarn is specified at 2mm thickness, which pairs with a 2.5mm crochet hook to create the tight, dense fabric necessary for amigurumi construction. Additional materials include synthetic filling for stuffing the completed toy, plastic safety eyes (size 10) for facial features, and a wool needle for weaving in ends and assembling components. The use of acrylic yarn makes this project durable, washable, and suitable for toys intended for play or gifting.
