For everyone out there enamored with little pet costumes for Halloween, here’s a fun and easy pattern to keep your cat in the loop and cozy too :)

This pattern is a simple ribbed sweater meant to look like a pumpkin with a jack o’lantern face added to the finished object, either via duplicate stitching or embroidery.

Sizes included are for small, medium or large cats corresponding to a cat body circumference of: 9-11”(12-14”, 15-17”) - feel free to customize to your particular cats needs so that they are comfortable.
