Created in 1974, Hello Kitty has kept the same silhouette: a round head, a red bow and no mouth. That simplicity makes her very popular in crochet, as amigurumi or as an appliqué motif.
Official kits
A kit brings together yarn in the right colours, stuffing, accessories and a step-by-step pattern. It is the easiest option for a gift or a first character. Check the licence mention on the box and the stated level before ordering.
Pattern books
Licensed books gather several characters, with charts, yarn quantities and photos of each step. They suit you better if you already have a yarn stash and a 3 or 3.5 mm hook.

Our tip
Crochet the bow separately and sew it on: it is the easiest way to get a clean red on the white head.
