Knitted cat - Squiggles

A cute cuddly knitted cat soft toy, called squiggles.  I made from a kit I had from a few years ago. I thought the knitted cat would look great in my knitting room. But my children fell in love with him- they put him on the mantle piece and have been playing with the knitted cat.

The kit

Here is the kit I got free with a Knit Today magazine a few years ago before they went out of print.  It come with everything I needed to knit the knitted cat soft toy - squiggles except for the knitting needles and stuffing. Pattern is called 'squiggles' - I'm not sure who designed the pattern as it has no name, which is a bit annoying as I would love to credit them for their design.  Here is the kit with my knitting needles ready to knit. 

While the knitted cat -squiggles is knitted on straight needles I prefer to knit with DPN'S as they are smaller then I just put needle point protectors on the ends to stop the stitches from falling off. Does anyone do the same?

The knitted cat was quick and easy to knit up as it was knitted in one piece.  I wasn't sure how the ears were going to turn out as you stitch up the cast off edge.  Then you put the needle down through the top and pull it to the bottom, tie and thread the end in.  I love how it turned out, though I might need to make a few more for my children :-) This was a perfect for an afternoon of knitting. Here is a few photo of the knitted cat - squiggles after I had finished knitting him.

His face looks so cute, my children say it makes them want to pick him up and cuddle him.

Where will squiggles end up? My guess is in my children's bed or their toy box...
