The Kitty Cat Sweater is a fully customizable knitting pattern that is knit top-down, seamlessly in the round. This is an intermediate difficulty pattern.

Some techniques you will encounter in this sweater: knitting in the round, folded collar, increase/decrease stitches, stranded colorwork with multiple colors, intarsia in the round (if you choose this technique), duplicate stitch, and some embroidery techniques (explained in pattern).

Construction
Sweater starts top-down with a folded collar. Repeating motifs are included and suggested to use stranded colorwork technique.

Cat faces were added to the sweater using either stranded colorwork or intarsia in the round. Stranded colorwork will create a much heavier sweater than intarsia will.

You will select the “base type” cat chart that corresponds to the duplicate stitch chart you want to use and knit the base type with one color. Details will be added to the cat faces with duplicate stitch and embroidery techniques included in the pattern

Alexander T. ★★★★★

Knitting this top-down meant I could try it on my cat halfway through, and the seamless in-the-round construction saved me from any dreaded seaming at the end. The instructions for the intermediate techniques were clear enough that I never felt lost, and the finished fit was spot on.

Lucy U. ★★★★★

The intermediate techniques in this pattern are explained clearly enough that I didn’t get lost even when shaping the sleeves. Knitting it top-down meant I could try it on my cat as I went, which was both practical and hilarious.

Abigail ★★★★★

The top-down seamless construction made this knit up so satisfyingly fast, and the way the shaping just falls into place is really rewarding. I especially love that you can customize it to your exact measurements, so the fit feels tailor-made when it's finally done.
