We love cats and are thrilled to have Bert on our pages. A companion to Betty (see book below), this magnificent moggy has details that make him the cats’ pyjamas.

NOTES

Pattern is worked in the amigurumi style unless otherwise stated. Work stitches in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. You may find it helpful to mark the first stitch of the round, moving the marker up as you go.

The Body is worked from the neck down with an opening so that the Front Leg Piece can be worked from here later. The Front Leg Piece is worked in one piece, then sewn down the centre
