Knitting Cat

Blog content image for 'Knitting Cat'

This cute and soft cat can be a good friend. It's very easy to knit if you use the same materials as I did it will be 28 cm If you use thinner yarn and a suitable needles - your cat will be smaller.

All parts are worked with 2 knitting needles.
First Row - Purl.
The first row you knit from start to end in purl.
Second Row – garter stitch (K).
You work every ST with a garter stitch.
So you have to follow that pattern till the end: the purl rows are odd numbers (1. row, 3rd row etc.) and the even rows are the garter stitch rows (2nd row, 4th row, 6th row and so on).

Materials:

✓ 50 gr knitting yarn Navy blue Alize Softy (115 m/ 50g).

15 gr knitting yarn white Alize Softy (115 m/ 50g).

for the clothes Katia Velvet fine 30 gr (160 m\50g).

✓ Knitting needles No.2,5

✓ Fiberfill

✓ Eyes 12 mm

✓ 1 extra long sewing needle

 

Abbreviations:

  • CH – Chain(s)
  • inc – increase
  • dec – decrease
  • X dec – X- times decrease
  • X inc – X-  times increase
  • ST – Stitch
  • P – purl
  • K– knit (garter stitch)
  • TR - treble
  • FO - fasten off

Find the markers for the tightening of the eyes and mouth in the 26 and 42 rounds.

Insert a needle near the marker 3 (42 round) (for the right eye from the right side, for the left eye from the left side) and take it out near the first marker (round 26), take the eye, insert a needle in a hole for sewing and return back to marker 3 (round 42).

Make the same with the second eye.

Insert a needle near the marker 3 (42 round) and take it out near the marker 2 (round 26), take the eye, insert a needle in a hole for sewing and return back to marker 3 (round 42).  

Tighten the threads, the cheeks should become more visible. Make knots, hide the threads.

So we get the hollows for the eyes and the corners of the mouth.
