Skeleton Black Cat

**Knitting Pattern for an Adorable Finished Cat: Approximately 12 Inches Tall** Create a charming cat companion with this delightful knitting pattern! The finished cat measures approximately 12 inches (30 cm) in height, making it the perfect size for cuddling or showcasing as a decorative piece in your home. **Materials Needed:** - **Double-Pointed Needles:** Four double-pointed needles in a size that is suitable for your chosen yarn weight. For best results, I recommend selecting needles that are a size or two smaller than what the yarn label suggests to ensure a firm and durable fabric. For this project, I used US size 2½ (3 mm) needles. - **Yarn:** You will need white and black colored yarn to create this adorable cat. I used Kartopu Flora yarn, which is 100% acrylic and comes in 100g skeins with a length of 230m. - **Toy Stuffing:** Ensure that your cat is nice and plump by having toy stuffing on hand. - **Yarn Needle:** A yarn needle will be required for sewing up any seams and weaving in ends. - **Stitch Holder:** A stitch holder will be useful for managing live stitches as you work on the cat's body. - **Plastic Eyes:** To bring your cat to life, you'll need two half beads plastic eyes (3 mm). - **Felt:** Both black and white felt will be used for added details and embellishments. - **Wooden Beads:** Finally, gather 12 wooden beads (1 cm) to embellish your finished project. **Pattern Notes:** All rows in this pattern are worked in the round. This technique not only simplifies the knitting process but also helps you avoid the appearance of unsightly seams, ensuring a neat and professional finish. Dive into your next knitting project and enjoy creating this lovable cat! Perfect for gifts, decor, or as a fun activity for knitters of all levels, this knitting pattern offers clear instructions and a rewarding crafting experience. Happy knitting!
