Beginner Tips for Your Orange Cat Project

Start with the round body first — it’s the simplest section, and lets you get comfortable with basic stitches before moving to the ears and tail details.
Stuff the round body firmly but evenly to keep that iconic chonky orange cat shape; inconsistent stuffing will make the body lopsided or floppy.
Stuff the folded ears very lightly as you go, rather than waiting until the end — this keeps them soft and folded, true to the classic tabby cat silhouette.
Use the included stitch markers for the start of every round — this saves you from losing your place in the pattern, especially when shaping the curled tail.
Weave in your ends after each piece, instead of saving them all for the end — this gives your finished orange cat a clean, professional look.

Q: Is the yarn and material safe for kids and babies?

A: Yes. All materials are non-toxic, skin-friendly, and meet ASTM F963 US toy safety standards. The safety eyes have a secure snap-on back that won’t come loose with gentle play.
