Now take both legs together and put them side by side, toes pointing same direction. Tie both legs together for easier work to continue.

Row 27: sc5, ch1, sc15, ch1, sc10

Starting with second leg, where we didn’t cut the yarn:

Sc5, ch1, continue stitching to next leg starting to stitch on the last stitch you worked on before tying off, sc15 (leave last stitch on this leg unstitched), ch1, leave unstitched 1st (first empty stitch after last one you stitched on this leg) sc10 (32)

Row 28: sc 32

Pull out the yarn you left for sewing on the first leg made through the gap between the legs so it doesn’t get into your way while crocheting. We will use it later to sew and close this gap.

Designing the face

Eyes

Embroidery threads:

Sky blue

Black

Tiny bit of white

Eyes are done in cross stitch. Never done the cross stitch pattern before, so here is my version of it. Was easier for me to draw than to make computer diagrams.

As mentioned under head pattern, you have marked row11 and row 14. Eyes will be positioned between those rows.

You have to mark the middle of the head to start designing the head and cross stitch the eyes. Think it is pretty simple for all that know how to cross stitch. For those who don’t I am sorry.  Wanted to make Angela’s eyes matching as possible as I could the real cat, and found this the best version to do it. I am sure if you will use your imagination, you might come up with different ideas that might be even better than this one. So go ahead! Make Angela the cat beautiful as she really is ☺

As you have finished cross stitching. Thee are few more steps to do. Outline the iris of the eyes with one ply embroidery thread in blue color (same you worked eyes with).

With white yarn make sparks in Angela’s eyes. You will do that embroidering tiny little bit of white on the right corner top of upper black stitch.

Using black yarn embroider the eyelashes, going through the stitches as indicated in the pattern. Make lines going through at least two stitches so the eyes will get that long lash effect instead of cut pieces.

To fill gaps on eyes or eye lashes, you can always use some markers to make tiny corrections.

Nose and mouth

Pink yarn

Sew the nose in between the exes (one row lower from the lowest eye line)

Sew triangle shape nose, across three horizontal stitches wide and the lowest part of vertical lines also three stitches long

From the lowest nose point, sew the mouth line pointing down, additional two stitches, and from there sew two stitches long line to each side to create mouth shape.
