Sitting Kitten
This charming little design captures a fluffy cream kitten sitting contentedly, with soft rosy cheeks, bright expressive eyes, and a gently striped tail curled around its paws. The palette is warm and gentle, giving the finished piece a wonderfully sweet character that is hard to resist.
Whether you are treating yourself or looking for a thoughtful handmade gift, this pattern is a lovely choice. It would look delightful framed on a wall, and any cat lover would be truly pleased to receive it.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
