Notes

What could be cuter than a tiny kitten to carry in your pocket wherever you go?

It’s possible with this small over-the body-bag: a peacefully sleeping kitten appears to be nestled in the bag’s pocket!

  • Bag dimensions: 9” high by 7” wide
  • Body is seamless; worked in the round from a Judy’s Magic Cast on using Magic Loop method, then transitioned to traditional in-the-round work, if desired.
  • A 2-color pocket on one side is picked up at the bottom edge - side seaming is a breeze!
  • The bag’s top edge and pocket are bound off in I-cord with integrated strap and button loops
  • Long, double-stranded I-cord strap
  • A ¾” button/loop at the top inside edges provides closure

Recommended yarn is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted Tweed and WOTA Worsted. While WOTA can be used for the kitten pieces (face, tail) which are brushed to create a fuzzy appearance, many soft yarns would work well! Sample kitten face is worked in Knit Picks Paragon, undyed.

I would love to see this in Knit Picks WOTA Tweed “Prussian Heather”, WOTA “Winter Night”, and for the kitty…maybe Knit Picks Capra DK, “Cream”!
