Materials:

- Crochet hook size 2.5 mm
- Stitch marker

- Needle for finishing touches
Body Pattern (common for all three cats until Round 5):
Start with a magic ring.
- Round 1: Make 8 single crochet (sc) inside the magic ring.
- Round 2: Make 2 sc in each stitch around (8 increases, 16 sc in total).
- Round 3: 1 sc, 1 increase; repeat ** around (8 times, 24 sc in total).
- Round 4: 2 sc, 1 increase; repeat ** around (8 times, 32 sc in total).
Round 5:
- For Brown Cat: Make 15 sc in brown color, then change to white yarn on the 16th stitch to make 2 sc in white, bring along the yarn tails, then switch back to brown and complete the round with sc in brown.
- For Purple and Yellow Cats: Make 32 sc in the main color for the entire round.
Continue with additional rounds, increasing the number of sc between increases as per the established pattern. Pay close attention to color changes, especially for the Brown Cat, where the pattern involves switching between brown and white yarn to create the face coloration.
Adding Features:
- At Round 8, start creating the face by switching colors where instructed.
- Create 'four triple crochet clusters' in certain rounds for details like the cheeks.
- Continue with rounds, maintaining the pattern and color changes until Round 16.
- Stuff the body with fiberfill before closing up.
Finishing Touches:
- Close the stuffing hole by sewing through the remaining loops and pulling tight.
- Make and attach ears and a tail by following instructions for chaining and stitching in designated rounds.
- For facial features, sew on eyes, a nose, and whiskers using black yarn.
For the Yellow Cat Only:
- Add stripes using dark brown yarn starting three rows above the eyes.
Final Steps:
- Hide and trim all yarn tails.
- Make any final adjustments to ensure the "chy" cats have their correct shapes and expressions.
