The Nursery Kittens

This darling litter of 6-week old kittens spend their day in the nursery, much to the delight of the twins, who are allowed to play with them between lessons and are working at teaching them some tricks. The pattern is knit in two colors -- color A for the back and head, and color B for the chest, belly and paws. Parts of it are worked flat, and other parts in the round on size 3 double pointed needles. Small safety eyes, an embroidered nose and mouth, and fake whiskers really bring these adorable kittens to life. They are 6 inches long (not including tail), and 4 inches tall when knit with recommended yarn weight and needle size.
