INSTRUCTIONS:

Cast on 30/40 STS – depending on tension and soap size – I casted on 30 STS and it fits a medium sized soap (approx 10 cm/ 4 inches)

• ROW 1: K until end.
• ROW 2: P until end.
  
• Repeat Row 1 & 2 for pattern – Stocking Stitch – until piece is approx 15 cm / 6 inches in length,
• Last ROW: Cast off – leave a long tail for sewing.

Creating your kitty:

• Fold over and sew top together (head)
• Sew the side together (body) – leave bottom open – this is where the soap will be inserted.
• Weave tail back up for neck – approx 5 cm/ 2 inches for top – weave tail across and pull slightly (pucker) to create neck.
• Weave tail up towards the head and weave (pucker) at each end for ears.
• Fasten off – weave tail away.
• Weave Ribbon thru stitches along the bottom opening.
• Optional – I crocheted a loop at the top of the head so that it could be hang up – approx 10/15 chain.

Now of course this little kitty can be customized anyway you like – since this was made for my daughter (8) – I did NOT add any eyes, or other decorations – mainly for the reason I need the kitty just to be the cotton with the soap.
She has very sensitive skin – so I cannot add anything that might be an irritant.
