Nico the Cat

**Meet Nico the Cat** As a champion snuggler with the heart—and stripes—of a tiger, Nico the Cat is the purr-fect new pal. Like many fellow felines, he may seem a bit challenging at first. But just follow our super helpful instructions through each adorable detail until you’ve got his fin-tastic bib and whiskered little face just right. Though he prefers sunbeams to snowbanks, he and Pierre the Penguin love bonding over deep talks about fresh fish. **Skill level** Beginner+ This pattern contains step-by-step photos, as well as detailed instructions. Every pattern I design has been tested and proofread, but if you still have questions, just ask!
