Featuring a cute hat wearing kitty the Christmas Cat Sweater is wonderfully festive and super quick to knit. The front and back of the sweater are knit flat and seamed with the cat being worked in intarsia. The neckline and sleeve ribbed edges are work in the round from picked up sts. Don’t forget to add a pompom to the top of kitty’s hat!

The intarsia cat sections are chart only.

Designed to be worn with positive ease choose a size that is at least 2” / 5cm larger than your actual measurements. See the final photo for a full schematic.
