My name is SquiddyCat. I'm a new cat toy for you to knit and crochet.The toy is knit sideways in garter stitch beginning at the head. It starts with a provisional cast on, is shaped using short rows, and ends with a three needle bindoff. Crochet the legs for a fast finish!
This is a quick and easy knit that should take less than 30 minutes.
Don't be intimidated by the advanced techniques used to construct this toy. I walk you through each technique.
You do have to know how to crochet a chain and slip stitch to make the legs.
