Original Pattern: Galaxy Cowl 

Knitter Extraordinaire: Natasha (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Knit mostly flat, and customized shaping to fit her cat.  Project page with great details can be found here.

What Makes This Awesome: This is the very first cat sweater ever featured on Mod Monday, and I’m a little excited. Natasha modified the original cowl pattern to make a cozy sweater for her blue-eyed kitty, and the result is great- pet owners rejoice!  Kitty (that’s the cat’s name) is a Sphynx, a breed that is often hairless. And do you know what hairless cats need? Sweaters! Natasha has actually knit several sweaters for Kitty, it’s worth checking out.  Don’t let the disgruntled  kitty facial expression fool you, this kitty needs sweaters. If you have a pet that you think might need a sweater (all you short hair dog owners out there, and possibly some other cat owners!) consider looking at modifying a cowl pattern. There are a lot more cowl patterns out there than pet sweater patterns, so there are a lot of great opportunities.
