About the Pattern

Settle in for this mystery within a mystery — one crime, eight suspects!

Who ate all the cat treats?

A crime has taken place, and with each chart you’ll be introduced to a cat suspect as you work the scarf and try to figure out who is the feline culprit!

Double knit, the scarf is fully reversible, featuring opposite color schemes on each side. Solid colors or yarns with subtle or gradual color changes work best. If you want to use up scraps, you could even use a different set of colors for each of the 8 cats.

The finished size of the scarf is approximately 71 inches (180 cm) in length and 5.5 inches (14 cm) in width. The colorwork for the design is chart only, not written instructions.

Yarn
• Approximately 465 yards (425 m) each of two contrasting colors of fingering weight yarn.

Needles
• Size 2 US (2.75 mm) needles for everything except the cast on.
• Optional: Size 1 US (2.25 mm) needles for a neater cast on edge.

Notions
• Needle to weave in ends.
