DUMPLING CATS by Sarah Sloyer is just plain adorable. Written in a larger print that makes it so much easier to follow row by row details. The photos of various steps, along with that of the final product, make it easy to compare your work and progress. All and all there are twenty five cats with several adorned with the cutest costumes.
Delightful project for any time of the year but I could certainly see the dressed-up cats decorating the house at Halloween time. There's a mermaid, daisy, lion, witch and lady bug just to name a few adorable choices.
DUMPLING CATS are pretty much what you would imagine -- little palm-size cats -- sure to delight a cat or kitten fan of any age. The biggest problem would be which one to do first. All you really need is a bag of stuffing and worsted #4 weight yarn of various cat type colors -- or of course, you can use your imagine and run with that.
Each cat is about three inches tall, palm-sized, and that is why Dover Publishing suggests making a collection of them. Easy to make. Great stash buster project. Guaranteed to melt the heart of any cat lover and be loved by any child. Great addition to the Creative Arts collection that already includes DUMPLING DOGS, another Sarah Sloyer book that you should look into.
Book Summary
Waffles is a relaxed feline who loves to read, and Cheeks just can't get enough to eat. These fun-loving characters are just two of the 25 dumpling-shaped crochet cats in this whimsical collection. The cuddly crochet critters were inspired by the Pokémon™-like craze Neko Atsume, a game that enables you to attract cats to your backyard and "collect" them. Each little dumpling has a name and personality points that add up to big fun!
You don't have to be an expert to crochet and collect these adorable kitties — the patterns are suitable for crocheters of all skill levels. Easy-to-follow instructions are accompanied by full-color photos and simple drawings. The directions explain every stage, from ears to tail, and some of the patterns include accessories and costume items. Plus, there are bonus patterns for a cat bed, food bowls, and more!
