If you look from above you see stripes, viewed from an angle a cat appears. This is a fun, colourful project to brighten up your home.

Suitable for a beginner knitter.

Charted and written instructions are given.

Techniques used: Knit, purl, two-row stripes, cast on, bind off, weaving in ends.

I have made a dishcloth. You could also make several of them and sew them together as a throw or a cushion.

Materials:
(Yarn A) Drops Paris 75 m/50 g (82 yds/1.7 oz); one skein in pale pink and

A needle size smaller than the one recommended for the yarn is best.
Tapestry needle
