Amigurumi Cat Keychain - Pattern in English

 

I was asked to make a simple pattern to be shown on a live video on Instagram. I was very nervous because it was my first time doing a live tutorial. And it went great! We made this cute little cat and people enjoyed making it! I know many of you couldn't watch it because of the time and the language, so here you can find its pattern!
