knitted cat

Would felt ones work frankie?

That's what I was going to suggest-easier to get them looking correct.

thanks - that's a good idea. will go and look for some in craft shop

You could attach the felt using a French knot with your green wool. Your DGD will love it! I quite fancy having a go at Doug the caterpillar for new DGS but I haven't knitted in years. Doug is the Scottish Energy mascot- he's meant to be a draft excluder but works as a toy as well.

Love gransnet for you great people with clever ideas. Thanks

So far I've knitted a crocodile, monkey and lion for DGS, now on another monkey. The eyes are French knot-style so easy to do.

Thanks again ladies. I've bought some felt and when I've designed the
"Felix the Cat" eyes I'll be sewing them on.

Frankie (and others) please post some pics on the "Pictures" thread and put the link on here! Would love to see the toys.

I don't know how to post pics, I'm afraid

KateK Thanks i have just found the lovely pattern for Doug the caterpillar , i may try it as am trying to knit through my stash.
