Flora – African Flowers Kitten

Flora is a crocheted kitten built from 19 individual African Flowers motifs — hexagons, pentagons, squares and triangles — worked separately and then joined into a finished figure roughly 18 cm (7").

The pattern comes as two PDF files: the first covers making the individual flower elements, the second walks you step by step through joining them into the belly, paws, head, ears and tail, with photos at every stage so you can see exactly which sides are joined and where.

Skill level: Suitable for confident, experienced crocheters. This is not a beginner pattern — some familiarity with the African Flowers technique, or a willingness to learn it with patience, will help.

Materials needed:

Cotton crochet yarn 115-125 m / 50 g = Sport 12 wpi (or similar)

Crochet hook 3.0 mm (D/3; 10)

Total yarn consumption: approx. 70 g (the pattern uses 3 colors, which you can mix and match according to your preference)

Stuffing material

2 safety eyes, approximately 6-10 mm in size

scissors, stitch markers
