Callie The Cat is a beautiful cat pattern made out of self-striping yarn so there is no need to change colors! There is a photo tutorial for adding cotter pin joints if you would like to try this method, or you can just sew the limbs on. Cotter pin joints make Callie The Cat able to pose in any position. This kitten is an easier knit for those with some knitting experience.
