Notes

Calls for 200 y worsted, MC.

12.0 mm animal eyes
I placed the eyes a row or two lower and a little more apart.

Held yarns double.
Elected to omit the collar.

It’s nice that the legs, body and head are all in one.
That minimizes sewing. I put the face features on the wrong side, so be careful about that if you make this design.

My projects tend to be less plump than the design ones.

Stunning cat eyes ordered from 6060 eyes:

Fabulous selection and very reasonable prices.
Attentive customer service.
