I don’t typically share knitting patterns for pets, principally as a result of I don’t consider it. I don’t have a canine, and I’ve by no means knit for my cats besides a knit sofa and a bit cat mattress I made on a knitting machine, each of which had been just about ignored.
I’ve shared some pet mattress knitting patterns, and each hats and sweaters for canine.
However I don’t assume I’ve shared a sample for a cat sweater, till now.
This one is the Bunny sweater by Sarah Zhou, so named as a result of her cat is called Bunny, after all.
It’s a made to measure sample as a result of cats are available in all styles and sizes, and you can even use any yarn you want and no matter gauge you might be getting with that yarn.
The design is knit from the underside up, that’s, from the tail facet up towards the top. Pairs of decreases form the physique as you’re employed towards the armholes, that are made by binding off a number of stitches. Then the stomach and the again are labored flat, then joined and labored within the spherical for the chest half.
There are some design choices within the sample, from the look of the images they embody utilizing a contrasting colour for the edging, working a scalloped edging, possibly a foldover collar? However after all you may add your personal elaborations, stripes, make it in staff colours or for a Halloween costume. I’m certain they’re fast to knit so you can also make a bunch if in case you have a cat who’s prepared to undergo such torture.
Bunny appears like an excellent and principally tolerant lady; I don’t assume both of my cats can be prepared to put on a sweater. However in the event you make one (the sample is on the market on Ravelry) and efficiently get your cat to put on it I might love to listen to about it!
