About this pattern:

Merry Christmeows is a holiday special edition of my other pattern Hannah’s Meow friends. It is knitted in the round from bottom to top with very little seaming. Glass eyes and embroidered nose are added after the body is made and blocked, and finally we will make a knitted Santa hat to complete the Chritstmasy look. Technique used in this pattern: Magic ring CO, knit in the round, i-cord, mattress stitch, embroidery(satin stitch).
