Mia - the kitten

This is a pattern for a stuffed toy Mia - the kitten. The toy is knitted flat on 2 needles and then sewn.

MATERIALS:

oatmeal (main)DK yarn approximately: 20 - 25 g

contrasting shade of oatmeal DK yarn approximately: less than 5 g

(I chose the same color yarn, but from different companies, so there is a difference in shade.)

peach DK yarn approximately: 15 g

white DK yarn approximately: less than 5 g

piece of strong pink thread for the nose

piece of strong white thread for the whiskers and eyes

(I used embroidery threads.)

KNITTING GAUGE:

24 sts and 28 rows to 10 x 10 cm = 4” x 4” in stocking stitch (knit row on right side, purl row on wrong side) and 2.5 mm needles.

Gauge is not critical for this project. Work tight enough to make sure the stuffing would not show through the stitches.
