Kitty Cat Mat
Being a cat is a very difficult job, which is why every pretty kitty needs a special place to lounge, preen, and purr. This kitty perch has fanciful flair with its lattice stitch design, and the ability to easily remove the insides for washing. For stuffing material, the sample uses towels ready for retirement that most households have lying around… even better!

GAUGE: 5 sts x 9 rows= 4 inches (in pattern, using U-Stitch).
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: 20.5”W x 19”H.
