Kittie Pillow

This Kittie pillow is knitted from the center out. For the zipper opening, bind off set amount of stitches, then cast on the set amount of stitches on the next round. Continue with the second part of the pillow in stripes. End in the center of the pillow. Embroider the face of sleeping cat on the front of the pillow. Knit the two ears separately and sew them on. Sew on the zipper along the opening on the pillow side. If you do not wish to use the zipper, skip the direction for bind off and cast on, but remember to insert the pillow inside the knitted piece before finishing knitting. Optional is to skip the stripes on the back side of the pillow and continue with MC only.
