We love kitties at our house, so I went looking on the internet for a simple and sweet (and free!) kitty pattern. This one, by Drawn and Hooked, hooked me immediately!
To scale to tiny dolls, 4 to 6 inches tall, I used fingering weight yarn and a size 2 steel hook. With this yarn and hook the kitties are 2 1/4 inches long. Her pattern is called Neko Atsume, and it will take you less than two hours to make one.
Clearly it was impossible to stop at just one kitty!
Qué precioso! ♥
ReplyDeleteSo sweet kitties! Thanks for sharing your project and the link!
ReplyDeleteSon muy bonitos y tiernos!!!

Hitties with Kittys! That's hilarious and exactly what I would think of doing! After I crocheted your Bluette doll, I made her a crocheted kitty of her own. Very fitting, don't you think?
ReplyDeletePS: Take a look at the Cat purse I just posted on my blog! If you love Cats as much as I do, you might want to sew one too! It's Simplicity pattern 1181.

I imagine the tight hooking to make Abby the horse would give anyone's hands cramps. Hopefully it won't be too long before you're back, and embroidery is a beautiful way to spend the time :-)

I love your patterns, Beth, and I also love the links you provide. I don't make dolls, as I already have too many dolls, but I do use your clothing patterns to make nice wardrobes for them. This kitty pattern looks like fun, and as a kitty lover myself (4 cats), I feel a need to give the dolls some cats. Thank you for sharing your patterns and links to other good things.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet words, Nancy; is it possible to have too many dolls??!
DeleteAs for kitties, we've had as many as four, but now have two :-)
warmly,
Beth
What sweet, happy looking kittens those are. LOVE your blog as always. Dolly hugs,
ReplyDeleteThank you! They were simple and fun to make :-)
