Materials Needed for Kitty Toaster Crochet Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Sew the two bread pieces together back loop only around the sides, using stitch markers to guide placement and ensure even alignment throughout the seam.
• Lightly stuff the bread while sewing to maintain a flat profile - avoid overstuffing as this will make the bread too thick to fit properly inside the toaster.
• Attach the small paws between rounds 8 and 9 of the bread, positioning them 2 stitches away from the sides with 5 stitches spacing between each paw.
• After completing round 12 of the outer toaster, sew all four legs to the bottom corners, placing them 1 stitch away from the edge at the front loop only line.
• Insert cardboard pieces cut slightly smaller than the toaster base into both the inner and outer parts to maintain structure and prevent the bottom from rounding.
• Place the assembled kitty bread inside the inner toaster part, then insert the entire inner part into the outer toaster shell, securing corners with stitch markers before continuing.
• Sew the toaster control knob, button, lever base, and carriage lever to their designated positions on the toaster body as specified in the assembly instructions.
• Cut and glue felt pieces for facial features using the measurements provided, testing placement with pins before permanently attaching to achieve the desired expression.

Important Notes

• 💡Maintain consistent tension throughout the pattern as it significantly affects the final shape and fit of all pieces, especially the bread fitting into the toaster.
• 💡Do not chain 1 at the end of rows when working the bread pieces as this creates neater edges and ensures proper width for fitting.
• 💡Read through row 14 completely before starting the ear construction as it involves multiple turning points and specific stitch placements that are easy to confuse.
• 💡Use stitch markers liberally throughout the project to mark increases, decreases, and assembly points for easier construction and more accurate results.
• 💡The cardboard inserts are essential for maintaining the toaster's shape - do not skip this step even though it seems optional.
• 💡When assembling the inner and outer toaster parts, ensure the last rounds of both pieces touch properly by adjusting stuffing levels as needed.
• 💡Pin all felt facial features in place before gluing to test different expressions and placements until you achieve the look you want.
• 💡Pictures in the pattern use a 6.00mm hook for better visibility, but follow the recommended 3.00mm hook size for accurate finished dimensions.
