Use white athletic socks. For body (Sock No. 1) follow the basic
instructions on page 7.
FORELEGS: See instructions for elephant on page 7.
NOSE: Cut complete toe from sock. Stuff lightly and sew to front of
head, or sew to side to make kitty look to the right or left (Figure 1).
EARS: Cut two petal-shaped ears from sock and matching ears from pink
felt. Sew one of each together, leaving an opening for turning. Turn and
stitch to sides of head (Figure 2).
FEATURES: For eyes, cut two oblong pieces of white felt and sew to face.
Sew little green buttons, highlighted with specks of white, to felt. Use
tempera or white india ink for specks. Embroider nose in pink yarn,
adding three little stitches to form mouth (Figure 3). A scrap of red
felt sewn to the lower stitch looks like a tongue (Figure 4). For
whiskers, insert broom straws or brush bristles through face near mouth.
TRIM: Use a big colorful bow with a little bell under the chin. For an
extra playful look, sew a ball of yarn to front paws.
