My first amigurumi!

Love love love this pattern. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing.

Five stars, no notes. I make these for my Etsy shop, and this one still taught me something. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. Took me a week of lunch breaks start to finish including sewing on the whiskers. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one.

Hands down the best Orange Tabby pattern out there. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. This got me out of a crochet slump. Finished in a flight to Denver. The orange stripes is my favorite part. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the orange stripes goes.

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? I've made maybe a dozen amigurumi and I had no trouble at all. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up. The proportions are spot on. The whiskers is the perfect size. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. Highly recommend.

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. Made two: one for myself, honestly and one that is NOT leaving my house. My Orange Tabby came out perfect toddler size using velvet yarn (not recommended for beginners!). Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. Thanks for a great pattern!

This Orange Tabby came out SO cute. Did the ears in a contrasting color, highly recommend.

Hands down the best Orange Tabby pattern out there. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. My husband (he loves them) squealed. Mission accomplished. Quick enough that I can price the finished ones reasonably. Made it in the length of a football game with a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft. Go get it.

Could not be happier with this. My Orange Tabby came out perfect toddler size using Paintbox cotton.

Adorable Orange Tabby

Okay WOW. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before so I was nervous, but it went fine. Gave it to my mom for Mother's Day. I've been asked for four more. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. Already eyeing the other animals.

Love the orange stripes

My Orange Tabby is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. I appreciated the note about stuffing the tail firmly before closing. Made a difference. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up.

Could not be happier with this. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. Made two: one for a 5th birthday party and one that is NOT leaving my house. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. The proportions are spot on. The whiskers is the perfect size. Highly recommend.

Would buy again

Very cute, minor hiccup. Great TV-watching project. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. A left-handed note would've been nice, but I figured it out. Would still buy again.

I've already made three of these. I liked that the color changes for the ears are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'.

Cutest thing I've ever made. Used worsted acrylic from my stash and it came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Orange Tabby. Already eyeing the other animals.

Easy and cute

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Way better written than the free version I tried first.

B

Happy with it

Solid pattern. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. Made it in two nights with chunky chenille. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the whiskers.

Solid beginner pattern

Solid pattern. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. I'd love a yardage estimate per color, not just total.

The ears is perfect

This Orange Tabby came out SO cute. Download link came through instantly after checkout. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. This got me out of a crochet slump.

Liked it a lot. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. The ears instructions could use one more photo. Would still buy again.

Looks just like the photo

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. I've been crocheting for 30+ years and this was perfect for me. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. The proportions are spot on. The tail is the perfect size.

Good value

Good pattern, would recommend with a caveat. It went to my book club swap and now the whole family wants one. Finished in the length of a football game. The orange stripes is my favorite part. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. I left out the tail by accident and honestly it still looks cute. I'd love a yardage estimate per color, not just total.
