Stitching the Cat Features

Nose: Using two strands of yarn together, insert the needle from inside out through the center space counting up 7th row from the edge, and wrap the two strands around the 7 bottom rows five times, making the nose approximately 3.5cm long.

Whiskers:

  • First Whisker: Make 6 back stitches right above and along the horizontal loops on the 6th row from the edge.
  • Second Whisker: Make 6 back stitches above and along the loops on the 4th row from the edge.
  • Third Whisker: Make 7 back stitches above and along the loops on the 2nd row from the edge.

Eyes: Using two strands together, insert the needle through the space above the 8th row from the edge and two stitches from the center, from inside out. Make 3 long horizontal back stitches, then 2 vertical stitches the length of 1 DC, then 3 more long back stitches back towards the beginning to form a triangle.

Ears: Laying the hat flat, reaching the top corner, and using two strands of yarn together, insert the needle through the space below the first dc row and about the same distance (2 dc) from the side, from inside out. Make a very long vertical stitch across 4 DC rows down, then five shorter stitches to form the ear triangle, finishing with a 7th long horizontal stitch across 6 DC rows. Weave in all ends.
