So since this is the week of combining hobbies, how about a happy mix of anime/cats/crocheting? Yes, at my age I still regularly watch Japanese cartoons with a few friends, and since one of them moved recently, I thought I'd bring something handmade as a housewarming gift. Both anime lovers and non- are aware of the famous Hayao Miyazaki, who created Princess Mononoke and many other heart-warming animations. So here's my first attempt at crochet design to make Jiji the cat from his movie Kiki's Delivery Service!
To download my free pattern, click this link from Ravelry. Enjoy!

the link to the free pattern doesn't work anymore! is there any way you could email it to me? my girlfriend would love this for her birthday so i'll try to make it
I checked it, and you should be able to get it if you sign up for a free account at Ravelry.com. If you still can't access it, please feel free to email me at gmail.com (username: agamerswife).
I think you are my hero!! Wow, this is so awesome ^_^
My pleasure, can't wait to see the finished project!

My name is marmottte, I've found your pattern for Jiji the cat on raverly, and I'm actually making it as this little cat looks just like my cat.
Many friends of mine would like to make their own I guess, but as they don't speack english it is impossible for them. So I was wondering if you allow me to translate into French your model: I would be very happy if you do. Thank you for considering my request kindly and thank you again for this endearing creation.
Sure thing! I'd love to have this pattern translated into other languages, as long as credit is still given to me. I hope your friend enjoys the pattern. :)
Fabulous pattern. Cute cat. Thanks for the free download. I loved it!
Thanks, Maddy! I had a ton of fun designing it. :)
i want to make this for my new grand son, how should i make the face baby safe?

Sorry for the late reply! The way I made it (with felt eyes and a yarn nose), it's baby safe. As long as you don't sew any buttons or use safety eyes or any other small plastic item that can be chewed/pulled off, it should be safe.
Thank you so much for the pattern! I have successfully made a GiGi with your pattern and have crocheted a red bow-tie and a fish for her. Thanks again for your hard work to write down the pattern and be generous enough to make it free!
@Load die - My pleasure! Love the additional accessories you made. :)
I love this! I named my cat Jiji after Kiki's Jiji..I can't wait to make one! :) Thanks for sharing!
