Garden Kittens was inspired by the pet kitties of Indie Dyers DyeHouse Yarns by Serial Knitters and Schmutzerella Yarns. The pattern uses 2 skeins (1 each of contrasting colorways). For the design I used 1 skein from each Dyer. The pattern is knit in the round and is all brioche with some beads added for the kitten eyes and noses.

Pattern has both written and charted instructions.
Pattern is both tested and tech edited.
