Kitty

[redpanda]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share this little critter I made a couple weeks ago. Someone on one of my LJ communities had posted this cat before. I've had this Sugar'n Cream yarn that I've wanted to make a little marmalade cat out of for months, and this pattern looked perfect for it.





It's hard to see, but it's got felt eye patches. I got the lovely green cat eyes from Suncatcher Eyes.


I added some felt paw pads and a felt belly, which I embroidered (badly) with my initials. My first embroidery!


Pattern: Fat Kitty by Jennifer Reeve

Also, I'm Moongate on Ravelry if anyone wants to be friends over there.

That's adorable. May I ask where you found the pattern?

That came out awesome! I've come across that pattern before and want to make one for my mother-in-law, I just have to figure out what color to use... So many cats of hers to choose from.

Thanks! It's really a fun pattern. And this yarn just screamed to be made into a cat.

[redpanda]

Thanks! You should absolutely make one.

Thanks!

Thanks! The pattern is linked in the post. I originally saw it on the LJ community crochetcrochet and just HAD to make it.

Oh, cool! I'd been wondering if multicolored yarn would make a good cat. Mmm, cotton--I'll bet that kitty is nice and soft.

Ohh cute :D I love the shape and the fact you added little felt to the feet!

Awwww, that's adorable!

I might just have to try this, I bet I could turn it into a baby toy for my new niece. Just nix the plastic eyes and pop a little rattle in there. =D

That is adorable! I might have to save that pattern for the future :)

I think it really depends on the yarn...the one I saw that inspired this cat used an interesting gray-pink yarn and it looked pretty neat. This yarn really made me think of a marmalade or calico cat, and I'm glad it worked out so well! I've been wondering in a self-striping yarn might work for a tabby...

Aww, that's so precious! I might try to make one myself.
