Grande Gatto is an over sized pillow, or perhaps a large toy to snuggle up on a sofa, door step, or maybe just a cool decoration to display.
Grande Gatto Resized.
The original Grande Gatto] was created for Jumbo weight yarn. This new version offers two different sizes and uses two worsted and bulky weight yarn held together giving more options to the knitter.
These huggable Grande Gatto are knit in the round in garter stitch. When finishing the head, cut the yarn long enough to use for the ears to pick up the stitches directly on the body, instead of sewing them on. Stuff the cat firmly with fiberfill. Small amount of embroidery for the face.
