Knitting Pattern: Mochi Cat
Mochi Cat is a sweet and squishy little friend with a soft, mochi-shaped head and the most charmingly serious face. She may look thoughtful, but deep down she’s all about cuddles, mischief, and showing off her big herringbone bow.

You’ll knit her in the round, making the head, body, arms, legs, tail, and ears separately. After stuffing each piece with wool, you’ll sew them together to bring her to life. The bow and ribbon are worked in herringbone stitch for a playful finishing touch, and her face and paws are embroidered at the end to give her all her personality.

Fun to knit and even more fun to have around, Mochi Cat is sure to bring a smile to anyone who meets her — whether you keep her as your own little companion or gift her to someone special.
