Cat Knitting Pattern and Tutorial. Hello friends, as promised, I have a sweet little cat pattern to share with you today. His name is Beans and he is a friendly little fellow:) I have knitted him in the round in the Magic Loop but you can also knit him on dpns in the round or knit him flat and simply sew him up at the back, if you prefer to knit on 2 needles. If this is what you would like to do then just knit the pattern in stocking stitch, flat with 2 needles. He could also be a cute owl, just give him bigger eyes, a beak and don’t add a tail:) Materials: Oddments of variegated dk wool 4mm circular needle or dpns or 4mm straight needles Sewing up needle Fleece for stuffing Abbreviations: kfb: knit into the front and back of the stitch to increase dpns: double pointed needles knit 2 tog: knit 2 stitches together Finishing Off: Hold the top of the cast off edge together flat and sew in and out, closing the top of your cat’s head.
