Pudding the Cat

Introducing Pudding, the adorable squidgy cuddly cat toy, perfect for knitters of all skill levels! With its charming striped body, this delightful toy is designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz and is expertly knitted primarily in stockinette stitch. This pattern incorporates essential knitting techniques such as simple increases and decreases for shaping, making it an excellent project for confident beginners and experienced knitters alike.

Pudding is knitted using DK (double knitting) yarns on single pointed needles, which adds a unique touch as it's not worked in the round. You can unleash your creativity by choosing any color combinations you desire—while I've crafted my cat in cozy brown and grey stripes, imagine the fun of using vibrant orange and black to create a cuddly tiger cat! The options are endless, allowing you to customize your Pudding to match your style or even as a personalized gift.

This pattern covers essential knitting techniques, including casting on and off, knitting purls, and executing kfb (knit front and back) increases, along with k2tog (knit two together) and ssk (slip, slip, knit) decreases. You’ll also learn to knit stripes and seamlessly finish your toy through simple seaming techniques, making this project a fantastic way to practice and enhance your knitting skills.

Whether you're looking to create a delightful companion for a child, a quirky decoration for your home, or simply want to hone your knitting abilities, the Pudding cat pattern offers a fun and rewarding experience.
