This mischievous feline found itself entangled in the festive glow of Christmas lights. Now, you can knit your own playful kitty ornament to adorn your holiday tree, adding a delightful touch to the season.

Start by creating an i-cord tail and shaping the body of the kitty. Once that’s done, attach the eyes, stuff the ornament with fiberfill, and finish off with a unique combination of a three-needle bind-off and Kitchener stitch. Adding a nose to the mix, the pattern then guides you through threading pony beads onto green yarn, securing them with an overhand knot for a charming finishing touch.
