Alchemy Kitty & Pup
by Gina Wilde
Pattern description from Handknit Holidays: “Gina Wilde has been dressing animals since she was small - though she no longer puts blue eye shadow on her Siamese cat, or a black velvet bikini on her English bull terrier, as she did as a child. Instead, she’s called upon these fanciful feline and canine friends, bold and adorable gifts that children can dress and undress all they please.”
