two.- In the next turn, we are going to make increases for each of the stitches that we have worked and so we continue with stitches and increases throughout this turn.
3.- Next, we now make two points and an increase along the turn; making a mark that will serve as a reference.
4.- We place our mark again and throughout the next turn we continue with three points and an increase, and for the next four turns we will be making a point in each point.
5.- At this point in the work, we are going to start making decreases. First we will make three stitches and a decrease throughout the turn.
6.- Next we are going to make two points and a decrease throughout this turn and thus we will continue making a point and a decrease throughout the turn.
7.- At this stage of the work, we can now proceed to place the costume jewelry eyes on our kitten and the nose. In the same way, we will proceed to fill it. To finish with this part, we are going to make 6 decreases and with that we will close our work.
8.- Now we are going to proceed to weave the kitten’s ears, for this purpose we will start by making a magic ring again, this time with 4 stitches. We will continue with a point and an increment for the entire length of the turn.
9.- In the next turn, we are going to make a point in each point and then two points and an increase throughout the entire length of the turn; we will close the work with a slip stitch and then we will cut taking care to leave a long enough thread to sew the tail later.
10.- Now we are going to make the tail of our kitten. To do this, we will again make a magic ring of 6 points; as we did at the beginning of the work. Next, and for the next 12 turns, we will be making a point at each point.
eleven.- At this point, depending on how long you want the queue to be; You will be adding or reducing turns. Remember also that you must assess the size of your pipe cutter.
12.- We are now going to close our work in this part of the tail, making a slip stitch for it and we are going to introduce the pipe cutter inside the tail to give it mobility.
13.- Finally, to conclude our kitten, we are going to sew the tail to the rest of the kitten with a needle and thread and we will color its cheeks with makeup.
