Kitty Hotpot Storage Box

This Storage Box comes in two different yarn styles: the 4-Ply Combed Cotton style and the Handcrafted No.2 style. The crochet methods for both styles are almost the same, with only slight differences in the yarn and the stitch pattern of the first round. Both are based on the hotpot, hotpot broth, the little cat, the ingredients, and the accessories. First, we'll make the hotpot, the hotpot broth, then the little cat, the ingredients, and the accessories. Then we'll assemble them all together. 

The handcrafted measurements may have an error of 1 to 2 cm. Due to variations in individual tension, the size of the sample is for reference only.
