This kitty is made using 4 colours, plus a small amount of black yarn or thread to stitch the facial features and toes. She also has a tail that just asks to be held to wave her around - perfect for a first baby toy.

This project is worked on a hook smaller than is usually recommended for the yarn, so it produces a tighter fabric which prevents the required fibre fill from poking through.

This kitty measures about 14cm tall, but by using finer or thicker yarn, you could make smaller or larger kitties.
