    Hi , I have enjoyed making up this adorable cat ballerina for my grandchildren,but some how I am having trouble understanding the oval foot part of the pattern, is there’s any way you can explain it in a bit more detail. Thank you very much

      Hi Lolly, you need to crochet on both sides of chain (ch 6). Make 4 sc starting from the second stitch from hook, 3 sc in next st, turn and then crochet on the opposite side of a chain: sc in next 3 st, inc [12]. You’ll get a small oval. Continue crocheting in spiral according to Round 2 of the pattern and so on.

      Hi, it means Back Loop Only. So, you should crochet only in back loops of the stitches.

    Please tell me how to make an oval starting from second chain from hook in legs. I must work on both sides of the chain? In round 1 from legs I don’t know how to increase. Thank you.

      Hi Ioana, please work on both sides of the chain. To increase stitches crochet one time 3 sc in the st and second time – 2 sc in the st (please follow the pattern instructions).

      The neck starts when you crocheting the body at Rnd 26. The body is made from the bottom up. So, you begin with pink yarn and end up with grey one.

    Hi. I made this adorable cat but in comparing to yours, the stuffing is very visible and there are larger gaps in the stitches. What do you advise? Smaller hook and different type of yarn?

    I’m I guess a little new at crochet, but I’m confused in what the difference is between, inc 3 times, and sc 3 times in st? I’m working on the feet and that keeps throwing me off. Thanks for any help and for the pattern!

      “inc 3 times” means that you should crochet 2 sc in each of the next 3 stitches.
      “sc in next 3 st” means that you should crochet 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches.

    I am having a problem with Rnd. 9 of the foot. The numbers don’t quite come out right. Please advise. Also, for the eyes I crocheted amigurumi eyes using two of the 4 ply strands then sewed the eyes on. I omitted the cheeks and added a smiling kittie mouth. Love this kittie ballerina pattern.
