There are other Halloween collections available that might be interesting for you to check out, the Mini Frank, Little Witch, and Chubby Black Cat amigurumi from last year.
The Halloween Cats collection comes with three free amigurumi patterns, the Cat Dracula (or cat-cula! LOL), Skeleton Cat, and Mummy Cat!

NOTE: here, if your starting stitch is in a different position than mine, the arms will be placed in different position. If that is your case, you can easily change this round by finding the 3 central stitches in front of the cat. These3 stitches in front, should be the distance between the arms.
