The Cats Out Of The Hoodie

Yes, I knitted a hoodie for my little kitty. I had been looking around for a pattern. Surprisingly enough, there aren't a lot of pattens for cat clothes:) I know, shocking right?! The search continued and I found a free pattern (even better) on Craft Leftovers. The draw to this sweater? It had a hood. Enough said. Could anything be cuter than that? I doubt it, but I'll let you be the judge:) I used smaller needles than the pattern calls for because I didn't want it to be too big for Oliver. It still was. I have to roll of the sleeves if he's going to attempt to walk around it in hehehe. He absolutely loathes wearing it. He looks at me like he just can't understand why I would do this to him. All that work... Oh well, it definitely makes for some cute pictures:)
So sad... 

The pattern is a little funky to work out. If you decide to try it I would definitely suggest using circular needles instead of double pointed for the body and the hood.
On a side note, this is what I walked into the living room to find this morning.... I have lost many nice balls of yarn to this little monster...

  3. OMG! Poor Oliver! But he does look incredibly cute! I can hardly wait to see how you dress your kids up. I know you'll go all out. I did. To this day Katie says she'll never dress her kids up in frilly clothes and floppy hats. But as soon as she got to dress Ginger, what did she put her in but pants with flouncy frilly bottoms. We all do it. We can't help ourselves. Love Mona

  4. This is by far the most adorable thing ever! Oliver looks simply dashing in green and is quite the cat's meow in this new outfit.

    I also dress up my fur-daughter (Charlie T.) She tolerates it, as I give her delicious treats as bribes!

    Way to go! If you make more and sell them, I'll be a customer for sure!!

  8. What a cute hoodie! What a cute Oliver!

    Those plant markers are a great idea. If I didn't think they'd be pee targets for the dogs, I'd totally bust out a few. :)
