Discovering free knitting patterns for cute little projects is always exciting, and this adorable cat bookmark by Anna Hrachovec is a true gem! Measuring 2.5 inches wide and 8 inches tall (including the tail), this tiny cat curls up between your book’s pages to keep you company as you read. This project knits up quickly with minimal seaming. The body is knit in garter stitch, the head is stuffed, and the I-cord tail and paws add extra charm. You’ll use I-cord, flat knitting, and circular knitting to shape the body and head, then attach the I-cord limbs and triangle ears with a few quick stitches. The embroidered face is easy to create, 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. Gauge isn’t crucial – just keep stitches tight enough to prevent stuffing from showing through!
