Video Tutorials Included: Never get lost! This pattern is packed with step-by-step video links guiding you through the limb assembly, foot increases, the seamless body join, and the neck shaping.

Gravity Pack Magic: Includes instructions for adding a weighted "gravity pack" so your cat sits up perfectly on your shelf or desk with its long legs dangling down.

Perfect for Leftovers: The stripy design means you can mix and match whatever DK yarn you have in your stash.
