So my first attempt was a failure in my eyes because it wasn't up to my ridiculously high standards for myself:
It was also much bigger than I anticipated.

So I tried again making my own pattern. It was more of a success:"
Before the face
After the face (Felt. I'll touch it up when it's dry.)
SO HERE'S THE PATTERN FOR THE HEAD OF HELLO KITTY.
Head:
Ch2, make 4 st in the second chain from the loop. (4)
Row1: 2 sc in each st around (8)
Row2: sc in first st, dc in the second. Continue around. (12)
Row3: sc in first 2 sts, dc in the third. Continue around. (16)
Row4: sc in first 3 sts, dc in the fourth. Continue around. (20)
Row5: sc in each st around. (20)
Row6: Sc in first 3 sts, dec in the fourth. Continue around (16)
Row7: Sc in first 2 sts, dec in the third. Continue around (12)
Row8: sc in the first st, dec in the second. Continue around. (8)
Row9: dec in every other st. Tie off.
Add the face and the bow.
Bow:
For the bow, all I did was ch 10 and tied the ends together. Then I took that circle that was made and tied yarn around the middle to make it look like a bow and sewed it on.
It was also much bigger than I anticipated.
