Construction Information about the designs: Most of the patterns in this book use a mixture of knitting flat and knitting in the round. Yarn and needle sizes are given for the pattern, ranging from Worsted to Bulky weight on US3 - US5. It is recommended that you make sure that the fabric you create is tighter than it would be for a garment, so the stuffing won’t show through the stitches in the end. Creating a tighter fabric will also help maintain the shape of your creation.

Note this book is a lovely whimsical addition to your library that we recommend to all knitting and cat enthusiasts.  Some of the instructions are quite pithy, so experience and confidence in your knitting abilities are recommended.

About the Designer: Sara Elizabeth Kellner is the designer of Rabbit Hole Knits - toy and animal patterns for hand-knitters. Her goal when designing is to create patterns which portray the animals realistically, yet still evoking the personality of each, a twinkle in each of their eyes, and the question “Did I just see that animal move?” on the lips of every knitter.
