Won’t your cat feel proud of himself when he captures this little grasshopper?! Knit in the round, it measures 4 1/2 inches long. A little bit of embroidery (optional) really brings this guy to life.

Most of the 25 patterns in Knits for Kitties can be completed in just a couple of hours, and with yarn you already have in your stash. There are patterns for every skill level from beginner to advanced, and each one has lots of options and ways to personalize it. These patterns were designed to be cat toys, but they make great human toys too!
