As someone who has been crocheting for more than two decades, I’ve made just about everything with yarn and a hook—blankets, scarves, toys, wearables, even home décor. But the projects that bring me the most joy these days are the smallest ones. Tiny creations that fit in the palm of your hand, filled with charm and personality. And nothing captures that joy better than my recent favorite: a kitten amigurumi dressed as Snow White.
Yes, you heard that right. A sweet little kitten in a princess gown, complete with puffed sleeves, a bow in her hair, and all the innocence and magic of a fairytale. It’s the kind of project that feels whimsical from the very first stitch, and one that brings a smile to everyone who sees it—even the most serious of grown-ups.
Let me tell you a bit about how this project came to be, and why this tiny royal kitten has become one of my most treasured makes.

The idea first came to me during a rainy afternoon when I was sorting through my yarn stash and came across the perfect trio of colors: royal blue, golden yellow, and a deep cherry red. Instantly, my mind leapt to Snow White—her iconic gown, her red lips, and that sweet innocence that has enchanted people for generations.
But instead of crocheting a full-size doll, I thought: What if Snow White was a kitten?
That one silly thought sparked the entire project. Cats already carry an air of elegance and mystery, so turning one into a classic fairytale princess felt like a natural (and adorable) combination.
kitten amigurumi dressed as Snow White. Recipe:
Like most amigurumi, the kitten is worked in continuous rounds using the magic ring technique. I started with the head, crocheting a rounded sphere, and followed with the body, a slightly tapered tube. The limbs and ears were made separately and stitched on afterward.
What really brings the kitten to life is her expression—I placed the safety eyes low and wide, added a small embroidered smile, and gave her a sweet, gentle look. You can give your kitten more attitude or elegance just by adjusting eye placement or changing the mouth shape.
Now, the fun part—the Snow White gown!
I began with the bodice, crocheting it in a deep royal blue. It fits like a tiny vest around the kitten’s torso. For the puffed sleeves, I used small red bobble stitches worked separately and stitched onto the shoulders. The effect is instantly recognizable and completely darling.
The skirt was crocheted directly onto the bottom edge of the bodice. I used a ruffled technique, increasing evenly around to give it volume. I chose a cheerful golden yellow, and the result was a tiny yet regal princess skirt that flares just enough to be playful.
Finally, I made the iconic red bow as a separate piece—a small rectangle cinched in the center and sewn onto the top of the kitten’s head, right between her ears. You can also make a thin red band if you want to mimic a headband.
Materials:
- Yarn in white, light brown (for the kitten), blue, yellow, red, and black
- Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn size
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Safety eyes
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch markers
- Embroidery thread for facial details and additional accents
Instructions:
Body:
- Start with light brown yarn.
- Begin with a magic ring and work in continuous rounds.
- Increase in each round until you reach the desired width for the body.
- Continue working in single crochet without increasing to create the body’s length.
- Decrease to shape the body towards the neck, and stuff it with fiberfill as you go.
- Head:
- Create the head separately using light brown yarn.
- Start with a magic ring and increase to form a rounded shape.
- Decrease to close the head, stuffing it before fully closing.
- Ears:
- Crochet two small triangles with light brown yarn and attach them to the head.
Snow White Costume:
- Bodice:
- Use blue yarn to crochet a small rectangle that wraps around the top of the body.
- Add small red yarn accents for the sleeves, and sew the bodice onto the body.
- Skirt:
- Use yellow yarn to create a simple skirt attached directly to the lower body.
- Work in rounds, adding a slight flare for a flowing skirt look.
- Cape:
- With red yarn, crochet a small cape and attach it to the kitten’s back.
- The cape can be a simple rectangle or a slightly curved piece to drape nicely.
- Collar:
- Use white yarn to crochet a small, flat collar and sew it around the neck.
- Bow:
- Crochet a small red bow and attach it to the top of the kitten’s head or near one ear.
Arms and Legs:
- Crochet four small limbs using light brown yarn, and attach them to the body.
Final Touches:
- Add facial features using embroidery thread, and ensure all pieces are securely attached.
Once all the pieces were assembled, I added some subtle details. A light dusting of pink blush gave her cheeks a rosy glow. I also embroidered a tiny apple into her paw in one version—just a small red circle with a green stem—which really helped tie the whole theme together.
The entire project took me about 6 hours, spread out over two evenings. It was the kind of crochet that feels meditative and joyful, the kind where you smile after every completed part because it’s just so cute.
