Why You'll Love This Pusheen Cat with Ice Cream Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love how this pattern brings such an iconic character to life through crochet! The way the stripes are created separately and sewn on gives Pusheen that authentic tabby cat look that made her famous. I'm particularly fond of the clever construction method where the head and body are worked as one piece, making assembly so much easier. The little ice cream cone with its detailed cherry on top is just the perfect finishing touch that makes this amigurumi extra special and photo-worthy!

Switch Things Up

I love how versatile this Pusheen pattern can be with just a few creative tweaks! Instead of the ice cream, I've experimented with making tiny books, phones, or even little sushi pieces for Pusheen to hold. You could easily change up the color scheme too - imagine a calico Pusheen with orange and white patches, or even a black cat version with white paws.

For seasonal variations, I've added tiny santa hats for Christmas or small flower crowns for spring. The stripe pattern on the back could be modified to create different tabby markings, or you could even skip them entirely for a solid-colored version. The beauty of this pattern is in its simplicity - once you master the basic construction, the possibilities for customization are endless!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

βœ— Forgetting to use stitch markers can cause you to lose track of rounds and create uneven shaping βœ— Not stuffing firmly enough will result in a floppy cat that won't hold its adorable shape properly βœ— Placing safety eyes too far apart or too close together will affect Pusheen's characteristic sweet expression βœ— Sewing the stripes on crooked or at wrong angles will ruin the authentic tabby cat appearance

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the tail to the back of the body ensuring it curves naturally and allows the cat to stand
  • Position and sew the four paws to the bottom of the body so Pusheen can sit properly
  • Sew the smaller stripe on top of the larger stripe, then attach both to the back
  • Embroider hair details by taking yarn double and going over each stripe twice
  • Embroider nose and mouth with dark grey or black yarn between the safety eyes
  • Position ice cream in Pusheen's hands and sew hands to body, then secure ice cream to hands

  • πŸ’‘The pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds without closing off with slip stitches

FAQs

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes! The pattern designer mentions you can use any yarn weight with a matching hook, but remember your finished Pusheen will be larger or smaller while keeping the same proportions.

How do I make sure the stripes look authentic?

The key is sewing the smaller stripe on top of the larger one, and then embroidering hair details by going over each stripe twice with doubled yarn.

What if I can't find 12mm safety eyes?

You can substitute with 10mm or 14mm eyes, but adjust the spacing accordingly. Larger eyes might need 12-13 stitches between them instead of 11.

Can I make this pattern without the ice cream?

Absolutely! You can create just the Pusheen cat and position the hands differently, or create other small accessories like a phone or book.

How do I prevent the cat from falling over?

Make sure to position the tail and feet so they create a stable base, and stuff the bottom portion firmly enough to provide good weight distribution.
