A lot of people asked, so here is the pattern for the bumblebee cat sweater! There are two options for this pattern: estimated small, medium, and large sizes for cats, and instructions on how to calculate custom measurements for your pet (not just cats!).

As every pet is different, I’d highly recommend using the custom measurements for the best and most comfortable fit. However, if creating your own measurements is intimidating, you can follow the sizes I’ve outlined in the set pattern.

MATERIALS NEEDED
Yellow worsted yarn (I used Cascade 220 in 9669 - Gold Fusion)
Black worsted yarn (I used Cascade 220 in 8555 - Black)
White worsted yarn (I used Cascade 220 in 8505 - White)
Measuring tape
5mm (US size 8) circular needle or DPN
3.75mm (US size 5) circular needle or DPN
I/9 (5.5mm) crochet hook

STITCHES AND TECHNIQUES USED
K=knit
CO=cast on
Ch=chain
Sc=single crochet
Knitting in the round
Backward loop cast on
Crochet chain and sc stitch
Crochet in back bump

NOTES
Set pattern has only been test knit in the medium size, according to my cat’s measurements. Small and large have been estimated from two other cats!

This is my very first pattern, so please do feed back if anything is unclear!

Please send pics of your pet in their jumper!
