Toy Cat DK Knitting Pattern - Stylecraft 10071
Knit a charming pair of plush feline companions with this Stylecraft 10071 knitting pattern. Designed for Double Knitting (DK) yarns, this pattern provides instructions to make two sizes of sweet stuffed cats featuring contrasting or patterned bodies, stitched muzzles, and floppy limbs. Worked throughout on a single pair of 3mm knitting needles, the stitches form a firm, dense fabric that keeps the toy stuffing completely contained. We stock the printed pattern leaflet alongside a wide range of quality DK yarns right here in our shop, so you can easily choose your favourite colour combinations and cast on straight away.

Product Information
Please note that this listing is for the physical paper knitting pattern leaflet only, not the completed toy cats. Yarn, knitting needles, safety eyes, and toy stuffing are sold separately.
Tension note: Knitted toys require firm, close stitches to prevent toy filling from showing through. When using alternative DK yarns from our collection or your stash, work a test swatch on 3mm needles to ensure your stitches form a tight, neat fabric matching the pattern proportions.
