Ringo Cat the Ami

I started working on Ringo without having a clear idea of what I wanted to do, I knew only that I wanted to create a small toy.
I started off with the body and then when I added the limbs all was set in my mind: a tiny cat was about to be born.
At this point I needed to find the perfect name and I thought to call my cat Ringo that makes me think of a joyful character.

Thomas Cat the Ami

I’m a cat lover and so I thought it was time for me to spend some time to create a cheerful character. That is all I had in mind when I drew Thomas’ sketch.

It was a surprisingly easy exercise and in a matter of few minutes a cat was looking at me from my drawing pad with his funny expression.
I remade Thomas a few times as I wanted him to be as close as possible to the sketch and at the same time I wanted to create an easy, straightforward pattern.

I loved every single moment I worked on him and I’m so pleased to have added a blue cat to my Amiland. Is he not irresistible with those eyes?

Frankie Kitty The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, May 2017

When I started working on this character I had no idea what I was doing. I had little yarn left over from other projects which was enough for a small body… the rest happened by itself.

Soon I found myself observed by a kitty with a blue bow tie, that was Frankie. He is adorable and he looks at you with curious eyes awaiting for a pat.

I’m glad that this cute kitty came out the blue and joined my Amiland, he has found a spot on my desk from where he can watch me all the time. It can be your lucky charm, give him a try!

Joe Kitty The Ami

I’m so happy today, I have just finished rewriting the pattern of Joe Kitty The Ami.
I have designed him a few years ago and … yes, I’m still in love with this cute kitty. What do you all think, is he not adorable in his blue baby grow?

FINISHED toy: exceptionally you can buy it on ETSY at this link 

Little Cat The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, July 2016


This little cat was born right at the beginning of my adventure in the Amigurumi World as a designer. I refreshed his pattern adding some small variations to the original version.
I re-wrote the instruction according the current format of my patterns and included the learning gained over the last few years.

I really hope you would like the new Little Cat, do send me a photo if you happen to have time. I would love to seeing your work!

Matilda Cat The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, June 2016

I have had the idea to design a chubby cat on my mind for a long time, eventually I decided to give it a go. I meant to design a male cat, but Matilda came along instead and I could not force myself to change a thing. She is such a lovely sweet cat, the one you would never stop petting.

Minou Cat The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, August 2015

I made this pattern soon after I had started designing amigurumi, and it is still one of my favourite works. I have decided to enhance the instructions with the learning gained in these years and to put the pattern in the format I currently use.
At the beginning of my adventure as designer I was not used to give names to my characters, nowadays they all have one even before coming to life. While I was refreshing the pattern, I named this lovely cat Minou after a cat I had when I was a child.

One a funny note Minou (on the left) is taller than the first one made a year ago... same pattern, same yarn and same crocheter :)

I needed a keychain so I thought to use Little Cat The Ami and take this chance for refreshing the pattern adding more photos and changing some stitches here and there.
