"Sell all you have
Give it to the kittens
And pour the milk
On Louis' grave."
This amigurumi crochet pattern is inspired by the increasingly psychedelic cat paintings of Louis Wain. After painting naturalistic cats in his early career, Wain's style became more anthropomorphized over time, before becoming more abstract and geometric, widely believed to be a result of mental ill-health.
The finished cat is around 40cm (15-16") tall standing.
*****
You will need yarn in white, teal blue, purple, yellow and green, plus a very small amount in black. Less than 100g of yarn is needed for each color, including the main color, so you will not need more than one 100g ball of yarn of any color.
You will also need safety eyes (suggested 16mm yellow safety eyes) and toy stuffing. Pipe cleaners for the tail are optional.
In terms of tools, you only need a 4mm crochet hook and a large-eye needle for sewing with yarn.
