A fun gift knit. The pattern for this cat is extremely clear and easy to follow. No matter what pattern you use, making pieces the size and shape necessary for a cute toy is always a fiddly business, but I felt like it was worth it to get such cute results.

DK weight cat seems to be quite a bit smaller than his bulky-weight cousin, but he’s plenty big enough to be a fun toy for a kid. I included a water bottle in one photo for scale.
