Crazy Cat Lady

For a while I've been making knitted cats. So here's a something resembling a pattern for them.




Use something resembling double knit wool of whatever make-up you have, and 3.75 needles.  Cast on 9 stitches (or 10 if you want a chonkier kitty).

Row 1:    Knit 1 row. (9 stitches)

Row 2:    Kfb across row (18 stitches)

Row 3:    Kfb across row (36 stitches) 

Row 4:    Purl

Row 5 - 16:   Knit odd rows, purl even rows  

(if you want stripes, start them here, 2 rows CC, 2 rows MC) 

Row 17:    K1, K2tog, rpt to end (27 stitches)

Row 18 - 24:    Knit odd rows, purl even rows

Bind off

  I had a notion ... To write a blog - someplace to put patterns, knitting, thoughts and probably a lot of pictures of my cat. First up, it's my lattice lace Wingspan .  Such a cool pattern, all maths and angles and calculations.  I'm always amazed how a piece of yarn can be twisted, turned, knitted, purled and transformed into an object.  Essentially one piece of string and voila!  Or, as my Dad would say, Viola! I used "most" of the pattern.  Can't help it really, always likely to play around and change things.  Keeps it interesting. Also I have an aversion to lace patterns on both sides.  For me, that purl row is essential. And such yarn.  Go to Vintage Purls .  Buy yarn. And do subscribe - the pictures of VP cats are such a bonus. This was knitted in Superstar (Aquarius) and Sock (Rees) - slight disparity in weight but I never said I was a knitting purist.
