Free HellKitten Crochet Pattern

This is an easy, beginner friendly free hellkitten crochet pattern to make your own cute Cat Amigurumi from the game Moonlight Peaks. Moonlight Peaks is a cozy vampire farming game made by Little Chicken Game Company, and they asked me to design crochet patterns of the characters in the game.

The hellkitten is crocheted with fine cotton yarn and a B/1 (2.5 mm) crochet hook, and it is 6 inch / 15 cm tall. You can use any yarn that you like to crochet this cute hellkitten, just keep in mind that thicker yarn and a bigger hook will make him turn out larger.

Tip: this cat is mostly crocheted with black yarn, which makes it hard to see your stitches. It helps to crochet in daylight, for example near a window, and not in the evening under a lamp.
