Notes

08-19-2024

I finished my first attempt at the sweater and although I like how it turned out - I don’t think it has truly captured my cats as intended

I am using a modified v-neck cardigan pattern and using the chart from this pattern (i don’t love the collar/trim details on the original)

I changed up my baby “uni” colour - and using leftovers from the first attempt for my baby “chibi”

I love this sweater! sleeves are a bit tight but other than that - it’s a perfect tribute to my sweet babies

the chart is amazing - easily memorizable and I hope to use it again endlessly - perfect for any cat lover

used Tanis Fibre Arts “Lifesavers” cardigan pattern as a base and the cat chart motif fro “Polkacats” and added afterthought pockets from Andrea Mowry’s “Winter’s Beach Cardi”
