PLEASE NOTE: This is a PDF Knitting Pattern
Beautiful Gracie is a very versatile cat. Not only can she be used as a pyjama case, but she could also be used as a snuggly cuddly hot water bottle cover or even a novelty cushion cover. Knitted in chunky yarn, she’s so simple to make and knits up fast. She has a single 30mm button on her tum for easy access and is big enough to hold even adults’ pyjamas.
I have hand painted two 20mm domed buttons for her eyes using acrylic paints and a good coat of varnish, but two 20mm black buttons would work just as well, or cat safety toy eyes are available from any craft shop or online site. You could even just embroider two eyes using some black chunky yarn. I have used all methods, and they all look really cute.
She has been knitted flat using 4.5mm needles. She makes the purrrrrfect gift for both the young and old and looks super cute lay on the bed.
I hope you’ll enjoy knitting her as much as I have.
