Using a smaller than recommended hook size for yarn will help. You will need approximately 100yards of your body colour, 10yards of Pink, and a little Black, White (or your mouth colour), and your chosen eye colour, all in the same yarn weight.Įxact gauge isn’t important for this project, just try to keep your stitches compact. You can use any weight or type of yarn, and make your cat any colour you like. Your own choice of yarn and hook will determine the finished size. As a guide, my cat measures 4.25”/11cm high from base to top of ears, and 2.5”/6.5cm at the widest part of the head. I have used Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran (US Worsted weight) with a 4mm hook for my cat.
