• Pattern is sized for a male cat of about 14lbs. The yardage was based on a skein that had already been used an indeterminable amount. It is good to estimate a little over half a full skein to use in this pattern • Ch 3 at the beginning of each row will count as your first dc. Your next dc should be in the stitch after that. • Ch 2 at the beginning of each row will count as your first sc. Your next sc should be in the st after that. • There are only two increases and two decreases in the entire work. They are necessary to give the teensy bit of extra room kitty shoulders need when pouncing or jumping. • Pattern works neck to belly.
