Naptime Blue Tabby Cat
**Naptime Blue Tabby Cat Knitting Pattern**
Introducing the charming Naptime Blue Tabby Cat, a delightful handmade companion for both children and adults alike! This endearing finished cat stands approximately 11.5 inches (29 cm) tall, making it the perfect size for cuddling or displaying on a shelf.
**Materials Needed**:
- • 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. It’s recommended to use needles that are a size or two smaller than the yarn suggests to create a firm and durable fabric. For this project, I used US size 2½ (3 mm) needles.
- • 100 grams of gray and light blue yarn for crafting the cat. I recommend using Nako Baby Ho?geldin yarn, which is composed of 60% bamboo and 40% polyamide; this particular yarn comes in a 100 gr skein with a length of 230 meters.
- • Toy stuffing to give your cat its cuddly shape.
- • A yarn needle for seamless finishing.
- • A stitch holder to keep your stitches secure.
- • 2 plastic safety eyes to give your creation an adorable face.
All rows of this knitting pattern are worked in the round, which helps to avoid ugly seams and creates a polished finish. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this pattern provides a fun and satisfying project for all skill levels.
