Colin the Cat

Colin the Cat is ready for a delightful fish supper, and with this charming knitting pattern, you can create your very own Colin! Dressed in a beautifully striped picnic blanket, holding a picnic basket, and accompanied by a pair of tasty fish, Colin is the purr-fect project for knitting enthusiasts. This adorable cat features a vibrant fur pattern achieved through the use of ombre or self-striping yarn in vibrant orange and pink shades.

Designed by the talented Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, this knitting pattern caters to confident beginners and experienced knitters alike. The toys are knitted using DK yarn on single-pointed needles, not in the round, making it an enjoyable and engaging project. You'll learn and practice essential techniques such as casting on and off, knitting, purling, increasing and decreasing stitches, as well as seaming to finish your creations beautifully.

Colin the Cat, when seated, measures 12.5 cm tall, and each of his delightful fish toys is 5 cm long, making them perfect for little hands or as decorative pieces. The picnic blanket measures 11 cm x 10 cm, providing a cozy spot for Colin's picnic, while the charming basket, complete with a handle, stands at 6 cm tall, adding an extra touch of whimsy to your finished project.

This knitting pattern not only offers a fun and creative challenge, but it also makes for an excellent gift or a lovely addition to your own collection. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, Colin the Cat and his delightful picnic set will bring joy and warmth to your crafting experience.
