OMG - this is absolutely the cutest knitted cat I've ever seen (& I hope the Intarsia craziness using yarn from both ends of a ball doesn't last as long as the kid craziness).
Thanks for the comments! Blogger hides most email addresses otherwise I would thank you personally:) CrystaIN-there isn't one for that particular Totoro, but Ravelry has a couple, and the Totoro TP topper can be adapted.
I love it! I haven't made a knitted critter in about four years (A mouse in a tutu) and have been suddenly feeling crafty-itchy the last few days... hence pottering on Google for ideas.
I was looking for teas cosies, but who wants a tea cosy when you can have a cat!? ;-)
jcatlaidy, the finished size depends on the yarn chosen. With a bulky yarn, the finished cat is about 6 inches tall, and with fingering, about 4.5 inches tall.
How did you know what my cat looked like? Very, very cute.

ReplyDeleteI just posted pics of my finished cat. Such a cute pattern. I want to make dozens of these and fill a window sill with them.
ReplyDeleteHmm, not all cats are two coloured. I reckon I could whip up a few solid cats, in the round, too. (Goes off to check yarn stash.)
