Yarn
To make your kitten exactly like plush one below, try going with some chunky chenille velvet yarn (I used Hobbii's Honey Bunny Yarn). It's a great choice for making a soft and squishy amigurumi toy.
Even with such few stitches, you can create a 4" tall amigurumi in no time!
You can also use thinner yarn, such as medium worsted weight or DK yarn, and pair it with a smaller hook. This will give you a tinier, keychain-sized amigurumi.
