A Victorian household of knitted cats

Set within the Morgan family’s Victorian home, this pattern collection gives its 20 cats distinct domestic roles, from nursery kittens to Grandad’s silver tabby. The designs depict familiar feline poses and activities, and the book provides complete knitting instructions for each one. Most patterns combine flat knitting with work in the round and are aimed at intermediate knitters, while some use simpler shaping suitable for beginners. Low-sew or no-sew construction features in the designs, and the patterns can be worked in colors chosen to echo different coat patterns. The collection uses aran-weight yarn and 3.75 mm needles for most projects.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Knitters interested in making three-dimensional cat figures
  • Intermediate knitters, with some patterns also suited to beginners
  • Cat lovers who enjoy choosing colors to match different coat patterns

Book overview

Welcome to the Morgan family home! Let me give you a tour. Each room in this Victorian household has a special purpose and is favored by a unique feline inhabitant. From the cuddly and adorable Nursery Kittens to Aunt Pru's Persian, there's a tale behind each kitty companion--and a family member who loves them. From the Cook's Cat to Grandad's Silver Tabby, the Morgans' cats will capture your heart, and the knitting pattern for each will have your needles flying.

There are 20 cats in all, with complete instructions to knit each one. Most of the patterns in this book have sections which are worked flat and sections which are worked in the round, so your attention will always be held. A few of them are geared toward the beginner, with shaping achieved by simple increasing and decreasing. Others are more challenging, but even these will be easily accomplished if undertaken with an adventurous spirit. The Morgans and their kitties are sure to delight all cat-loving knitters!
