Book Description

Feb 7 2012
Cat lovers, rejoice! It's the highly anticipated follow-up book to Knit Your Own Dog. With easy-to-follow instructions for 16 distinct felines, Knit Your Own Cat is the irresistible guide to knitting the pet you've always wanted.

Cats and knitters are perfect companions. What's better together than a kitten curled up in a basket of wool or a frisky feline chasing a skein of yarn down a hallway? Since the instant success of Knit Your Own Dog, cat lovers have been clamoring for a book of their own. That time has come. Knit Your Own Cat is packed with knitting patterns for 16 different fanciful felines, from a pretty Persian to a sleek Siamese, from a cuddly kitten to a traditional tabby. The cats are surprisingly easy to make: With a few evenings of work, you can have a covetable companion for life. Each cat includes clear, step-by-step instructions for both knitting and assembling the parts. The cats can be knit into various positions such as standing, sitting, crouching, and curled up for a nap. You can add details like collars, bells, and bows. Photographs throughout show the finished cat from various angles, and each cat is accompanied by a description of its real-life temperament and physical characteristics. Cats include: Abyssinian, Bengal, Black Cat, Black & White, British Shorthair, Burmese, Devon Rex, Kitten, Maine Coon, Orange, Persian, Ragdoll, Siamese, Tabby, Tortoiseshell, and Turkish Van.

Great book with easy to follow directions. So many cats I had a hard time deciding which one to do first. When completed they really do look like cats I have known and they make great gifts for fellow cat lovers. I am planning on working my way through the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars These cats need better faces Sep 28 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been working with these patterns for a few weeks now and have come to the conclusion that they must be extensively adapted to look realistic. I would never use thread for whiskers, when nylon beading cord is stiffer and looks much more whisker-like. One of the strangest things about these cats is they don't have mouths! I have found that facial expression is crucial in creating a realistic "stuffy", and what is a cat without its distinctive feline mouth with the enigmatic curved-up corners? Fortunately it's fairly easy to embroider on a mouth, but why were they left off in the first place? It makes the cats look a little too rodent-like. I was disappointed that the 16 "breeds" are mostly just different colors, but obviously there are limits, i.e. creating a longhaired cat's coat with yarn. The Knit Your Own Dog idea was popular mainly because you could knit a huge variety of very different sizes, shapes and colors of dogs. But in many ways, a cat is a cat is a cat. Attempts to create a pattern for a hairless cat produced something quite ugly, and the Maine Coon did not resemble anything so much as a dustmop. Having said all that, I am hard at work attempting to knit Oscar, my granddaughter's cat, for her birthday. If the pieces all go together as planned, it should be a pretty fair likeness. It's pretty cool to knit the family cat, though I am not sure how many of the others I'm going to try. Too bad I don't like dogs.
