Original Pattern: Sophie

Knitter Extraordinaire: Marianne (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Using the general bunny bod from Sophie, Marianne made small triangular ears for the kitty and  added a striped tail and embroidered whiskers. Details can be found on her project page, here.

What Makes This Awesome: I love how Marianne used the basic bunny body as a template to create the kitty, and even added a wonderful sweater (pattern found here). The contrasting ears and paw tips are a great detail, and who doesn’t love a little knitted animal wearing little clothes? While there are a lot of different animal knitting patterns out there, if you find one that you love, consider making changes to turn it into a different type of animal by changing up the ears, the tail, or facial details. Or even cusotmize for a cat lover in your life to knit a version of their real-life furry friend- different colour choices would turn this kitty into a Siamese, or a calico, or any colour you like. And with a sweet little sweater, who could resist such an adorable little knitted friend?
