Using Grumperina's method for cabling without a cable needle.

Poly fill from my stash.

Mods

• using lifted increases,
• hat (using smaller needles) cast on 42 st and knit 5 r twisted rib, only one cable panel at centre front and the rest in plain stockinet, didn’t repeat r 2-11,
• body picked up 42 st so did no increases, only two cable panels and the rest in plain stockinet, used a few washers to make it bottom heavy,
• cat knit shorter than pattern and only cast on 4 st for tail.
