C is for Cat
Welcome to the world of plush knitting with our delightful pattern for big, cuddly cats that are perfect for bigger kids! These adorable toys feature extra long tails and a playful personality that make them just right for hugging. Designed specifically for bulky weight yarn, your finished knits will measure approximately 16 inches from head to toe (excluding the ears), making them ideal for snuggling.
To create your lovable cat, you'll need about 180 yards of your main color yarn and an additional 55 yards of contrasting yarn for a playful tail. Throughout this fun project, you’ll work with a set of double-pointed needles and must possess grafting or Kitchener stitch skills, along with experience in executing 'fully-fashioned' increases and decreases. This pattern is straightforward with no tricky surprises, making it an excellent choice for intermediate knitters and above. While this pattern may not be suitable for absolute beginner knitters, an adventurous advanced beginner might enjoy the challenge of creating this charming cat!
Embrace your creativity! All of our "is for" patterns are uniquely compatible, allowing you to mix and match elements – such as incorporating the Rabbit's arms onto the Cat or vice versa – resulting in a truly unique toy creation that reflects your personal style.
The featured orange cat in our pattern was lovingly crafted with a custom-dyed organic hand-spun yarn from spinspanspun.etsy.com – simply request the CAT for your own projects. We've also included a suggested yarn substitute for added convenience. Start knitting your own colorful collection of cuddly cats today and bring joy to your little ones with these special handmade treasures!
