CatKnit Pullover

Knit yourself a cute little cat sweater! From far away, you’ve just got on an elegant yoke pullover, but when folks get a closer look, they’ll see so many cats, all extremely pleased with themselves, like they’ve just gotten to enjoy some catnip! This sweater is called CatKnit for the cats, but also because of how fun and engaging it is to knit and see those adorable kitties emerging as you work. Want to knit along?
