Cat and Mouse are at it again, tsk, tsk, tsk. Will they ever stop fighting? Cornelius Cat is knitted in the round with absolutely no seams! Plus, he's fully jointed which makes him especially good at catching mice. He's a ferocious feline but maybe if you give him a kitty treat he will retract his claws = ) Mouse is knit from one strand of wool and one strand of mohair making it fluffy fun for kids!

I will provide FREE support for this knitting pattern AND, IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COMPLETED CAT & MOUSE, PLEASE CONVO ME - I would be glad to knit them for you myself! Cat is about 14" tall standing on two feet and about 7" standing on all fours. Mouse is about 7" including tail.

Gauge:

Because Cat and Mouse are toys, gauge is not of great importance. Using larger needles with heavier weight yarn will produce a larger toy and, likewise, using smaller needles with lighter weight yarn will produce a smaller toy. However, you may need to change the size of the plastic safety doll joints accordingly.
