Create Louise Belcher’s toy Bakeneko from the Bob’s Burgers episode Flu-ouise! You can read a little bit more about this pattern here.

For this pattern, I used roughly 230g of Kingfisher Blue (a little less than 5 skeins of yarn), 15g of Red Wine (< 1 skein), 10g of Pale Lilac (< 1 skein), 10g of Champagne White (< 1 skein), 5g of Vintage Pink (< 1 skein), 5 g of Pure Black.

I chose to work with Paintbox Yarns for this project because it comes in so many colours and makes colour-matching for this specific project so easy. However, you can use any cotton yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn.

Bakeneko measures to be about 16 inches (40cm) tall.
