This old-fashioned hand puppet is knit in the round with a strand of eyelash yarn and a strand of wool yarn held together. It is then felted in a washing machine and the face embroidered afterwards. Change up the eyelash yarn, colors and facial proportions/ expression and create your own unique cat characters!
