Welcome to the whimsical world of cozy amigurumi! ☕🐱 Today, I’m delighted to share my free crochet pattern for an Amigurumi Teacup Kitten—a sweet little furball curled up in a perfectly dainty cup! Whether you’re a cat lover, enjoy crafting miniature scenes, or simply want to add some teatime charm to your collection, this pattern will guide you through stitching your very own pocket-sized feline with its tiny paws peeking over the rim, sleepy expression, and a teacup that’s just the right size for yarn cuddles.

This design blends feline cuteness with vintage teacup details! 🧶🌸 I’ve carefully outlined each step to help you create the kitten’s stripes (or make it a solid color!), the cup’s delicate handle, and optional “steam” curls rising from the top. Perfect for display, gifting to fellow cat enthusiasts, or keeping as a reminder that every day deserves a little purr-fect moment! So grab your hooks, pick out soft grays or creams (or go wild with calico colors!), and let’s stitch up a teatime companion who’s always ready to warm your heart! ✨
