Christmas Ornament Catnip Pet Toy
Lion Brand® Glitterspun® - Lamé - Microspun
GAUGE: 24 sts + 32 rows = 4" (10 cm) on size 5 (3.25mm) needles 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.
NOTES: Materials are suffient for several toys.

Do not cut yarn! Instead, starting at the bottom, sew the edge together,
joining the sides. Stop about a half inch [1 cm] from the end.
Fill with catnip and sew to end Tie off securely and finish with end inside the piece
(sew through it, pull the yarn out the other side, clip and pull so the end of the yarn is is
inside the piece) |

| Christmas Ornament Catnip Pet Toy Reviewed by Ness Larkin on 2008-09-06 |

I work at an Animal Shelter and the cats there LOVE this toy!! I had to improvise alittle as everything has to be able to be washed and dried repeatedly and we can't use catnip so i use plastic grocery bags as stuffing, one bag to one toy, it makes a rustling noise and washes and dries great. I get to use up all my scraps of yarn and the cats have a BALL with the outcome. Plus its a good use for grocery bags.
My cats at home love it too, they get to try out everything first.
