Finding free knitting patterns for cute little projects is always a thrill, and this adorable cat bookmark by Anna Hrachovec is a real treasure! Imagine this tiny cat, measuring 2.5 inches wide and 8 inches tall (including its tail), curled up between your book’s pages, keeping you company as you read.
This project knits up super quickly and involves minimal seaming – win-win! You’ll knit the body in garter stitch and stuff the head. I-cord for the tail and paws adds extra charm. You’ll use I-cord, flat knitting, and circular knitting to shape the body and head, then quickly attach the I-cord limbs and cute triangle ears with a few stitches. Creating the embroidered face is easy, and yarn scraps work perfectly for this project!
Find the free written pattern for this adorable knitted cat bookmark on Knitty.com. You’ll need about 30-40 yards of yarn and 3.75mm double-pointed needles. Don’t stress too much about gauge – just keep your stitches tight enough so the stuffing doesn’t peek through!
