Halloween Kitten

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®

GAUGE:

14 sc + 17 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

sc2tog (sc decrease) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.

NOTES:

1) Kitten is worked in continuous rnds, do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed. Place a marker for beg of rnd. Move marker up as each rnd is completed.
2) To change color, work last st of old color until 2 loops remain on hook, yarn over with new color, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook to complete stitch.

Halloween Kitten Reviewed by Theresa Granese on 2010-02-04 *****
Thought would be sweet in lighter colors, so used scraps of Wool-Ease in Grey Heather, Oxford Grey, Black, Mushroom and Wheat to make a tabby kitty. Made blue pupils for the eyes, and a little pink felted toung sticking out. Made fluffy wiskers out of white Homespun, and a little white homespun tuff under chin, on the chest. Came out very well and will be fun to make more ! Thanks for the great Pattern !! :)
