Naptime Cat and Dog

**Naptime Cat and Dog Knitting Pattern** Delve into the delightful world of knitting with our Naptime Cat and Dog pattern. These charming finished toys stand at approximately 7.87 inches (20 cm) tall, making them the perfect companions for cuddles and naps! ### **Materials Needed** Before you start your knitting adventure, gather the following materials to create your adorable Naptime Cat and Dog: - **Double-Pointed Needles:** You will need 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for your chosen yarn weight. For best results, we recommend using needles that are one or even two sizes smaller than what the yarn label suggests. This will help you create a firm, durable fabric that will hold up to all the love and play. For this project, we used US size 2½ (3mm) needles. - **Yarn:** You will require 100 grams of yarn in gray and light cream colors specifically designed for toys. We chose Nako Moher Special yarn, which is a delightful blend composed of 10% Wool, 10% Mohair, and 80% Acrylic. This yarn provides a soft, cozy feel while maintaining structural integrity, making it ideal for toy making. Be sure to hold 3 threads together for optimum thickness and warmth. By following this easy-to-understand knitting pattern, you can create your very own Naptime Cat and Dog. These cuddly creations not only add charm to any nursery or cozy corner but also make excellent gifts for friends and family. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner, this pattern is sure to inspire creativity and joy. Happy knitting!
