Tips

Work in continuous spiral rounds and move your stitch marker up every round.
Count your stitches at the end of each round; the number in brackets is what you should have.
Use a hook a size smaller than your yarn label suggests, so the stuffing doesn't show.

Assembly

Stuff the top of the Body lightly so the head is round; leave the open hem unstuffed so the ghost cat stands on it.
Scalloped hem: with colour A still on the hook after the last round of the Body (or join it at the open edge), work one more round: (sc in next st, skip 1 st, 3 dc in next st) 10 times, sl st into the first sc. This makes 10 small scallops. Fasten off and weave in.
Sew the ears to the body between Rnds 2 and 3. One each side of the top, about 6 stitches apart, pinched flat so each ear comes to a small point.
Embroider the two oval eyes on the body around Rnds 6-7 with colour B. On the front, about 5 stitches apart.
Embroider the small triangle nose on the body at Rnd 8 with colour B. Centred between the eyes, just below their lower edge.
Embroider the two short straight-stitch whiskers on each side of the nose on the body around Rnds 8-9 with colour C. Each about 3 stitches long, angled slightly outwards.
Thread a length of colour A through the top of the head between the ears and tie into a hanging loop, if you want to hang it.
Weave in all ends.
