This is a very easy pattern. 99% of it is all single crochet. The Kitty without the wire holder stands approx. 5-6”, with the wire holder 7+ inches, or your desired height. This is a quick creation. I’ve given it as a photo holder, but also as a recipe card holder (I attach a great recipe) and give as a gift. The best yarn is Velvet for the main body and the cheeks, however, you’ll have good success with #4 worsted yarn. Be creative….add stripes. Once you are familiar with the pattern and techniques, add texture by using different yarns…..Just like cats, the options are endless. It takes very little yarn…about 30-50 yards….maybe a bit less. You’ll need yarn, decorative wire, wiggle eyes, fiberfill for the body and tail and a little sewing thread….A lot more details are in the pattern, along with brand names and where to purchase the items. To tell you the truth, most of what you need you already have, with exception of the wire and eyes. You won’t be sorry you got the pattern, EVERYONE, including Cat Lovers, adore this gift of love. Enjoy!
