Knitted Cats & Kittens' by Sue Stratford is a funny alternative to the usual knitted animal books based around bears or bunnies.

Knitted Cats & Kittens' by Sue Stratford is a funny alternative to the usual knitted animal books based around bears or bunnies. The alley cat is my favourite in the entire book. There are two pages on materials, advice on yarn, filling, safety eyes and threads.

Cats are popular pets all over the world, so it seemed only natural to create a knitting book especially for all the cat lovers out there. This book contains a wide variety of cats and kittens to knit from fun and quirky, to cute and cuddly - and you dont have to clean up after these ones! Each cat has its own look and personality, and they come in a range of characters, styles, shapes and sizes to suit knitters of all tastes and abilities. There are also a number of feline projects to make including a hot water bottle cover and a doorstop, so (unlike real cats!) they can make themselves useful around the house. And of course, all cats need a few accessories, so the author has included a knitted scratching post (complete with dangly bird to play with), a cat basket and some colourful knitted balls - not forgetting an entire family of tiny knitted mice! Each pattern comes with a comprehensive list of the yarns, needles and embellishments you need, and there are general notes too on basic techniques, materials and equipment. Filled with fun from cover to cover, you will love these adorable knitted cats and kittens - and so will anyone you choose to knit them for!

This is a very cute book making adorable toys. I disagree with some other reviews in that I think these look plenty like cats and kittens.
I gave this book 3 stars only because of the numerous messed up instructions. I have found other reviews on other sites as well as the ones here talking about how you need to fudge and make up your own instructions where what is provided just isn't clear. Right now I am working on Alley Cat. Instructions are provided giving stitch count and it jumps from 24 to 14 with only a two stitch decrease. A couple rows later it gives a 26 stitch count where the instructions don't add up. I couldn't find any published revisions anywhere. I'm not a beginner knitter but I'm not really experienced either. This is a disappointment as I want to enjoy my knitting not be frustrated by it.

I have to give it five stars, even though the reviewers who point out that fuzzy yarn is harder to knit with are right. I judge knitted toy patterns by A.) how adorable they are to both kids and parents, (and the knitter of course) and B.) the directions. Did I mention THE DIRECTIONS? So many toy patterns are confusing or incomplete. The ones Stratford writes have material lists and places to procure them, clear worded directions that include every step, and pictures so you know what the toy is supposed to look like at the end. The range of designs and clever details of these is very satisfying. Knitters will thoroughly enjoy the process (except for that thing about the sticky yarn; but all fuzzy yarn is harder to work with, so let's not blame the book.) Cat lovers will adore the finished products, which are both beautiful and sturdy in construction. The kitties will bring many giggles and pats and they will survive long, hard play. The biggest problem I had was deciding which to knit first. After,I finished that adorablelittle basket filled with fuzzy mice, that is.

Its a cute book but there are problems with how the patterns are written. she doesn't write her patterns as row one, row two and it is very difficult to follow them. The cats are knitted flat and then sewn together, which is great if you do not know how to use dpn's but I find making stuffed toys on dpn's much easier and for some of the smaller cats it is much easier to make the legs and tails on them. I am currently working on the grey cat with the flowers on it and its coming out pretty well, and I have made the Siamese cats. all the patterns I have done have been completely marked up with row numbers to make them easier to follow. Also it should be noted that she starts a lot of her patterns in the info paragraphs before the work starts. The cats are very cute and work making, but you will need to read the pattern and make lots of notes to be able to work them. I do not recommend this book for beginning knitters at all, you will also need a fairly good basis in sewing and how to shape things.

Let me start by saying that this is a wonderful book! The kitty patterns are so cute, and the design and layout are fun, playful and witty. It's enjoyable to look at and read, and for that alone I would give it 5 stars.

But I had to knock a star off because it would have been great if, when creating these patterns, the author had thought about how to minimize the sewing and seaming. There's only one pattern knit in the round on DPNs, and I think there should definitely have been more. Also, when knitting flat, were there opportunities to pick up stitches on the body to add the arms and legs? I'll be checking with my more experienced knitter friend (for whom I also bought a copy of this book), but it would have been nice if the author had included a broader variation of patterns from simpler to more fiddly.

I also agree that the instructions are not written for beginner knitters; there's a lot of shorthand and gaps that you are expected to figure out (e.g. the body of the one DPN pattern has instructions to repeat the last 3 rounds once more, then says to 'work 6 rounds.' Work in what?? A more experienced knitter who understands the mechanics of knitting in the round will know this means to knit 6 rounds, but a newbie might be tripped up to knit the previous rounds which would add inadvertent increases.)

Another reviewer commented that these cats don't look 'real'; I agree but in my opinion that's a plus. These are meant to be cute toys, and that they are. (I also own 'Knit Your Own Cat', and I think the patterns in that book are slightly weird looking.)

Nonetheless, though I wish there were more DPN patterns and some that were less fiddly, I think this is an adorable book and would definitely recommend for all cat-loving knitters!

So,I'm in the middle of trying to knit "Floppy Moggy" one of the patterns in Knitted Cats and Kittens. The knitting techniques called for with this cat are not terribly difficult; however be aware that some guess work and slight alterations must be made to what is shown in the book. I'm not going to go into great detail about these changes as any capable knitter would see what I mean. One example is that with this particular pattern there is a part which says "Knit from * to * to shape the front legs." (page 80) Unfortunately, there is no first *, only the second * so I had to guess where the first * should be. Thankfully, it was fairly obvious where the first asterisk should have been. I hope there won't be very many similar problems with other patterns in the book. There are other patterns I plan to try because there are some very cute cats! Overall, the cats are cuter, to me anyway, than the patterns in "Knit Your Own Cat" (I have that book also) some of which look quite strange. Anyway, it is a sweet book, just be ready to get creative with some of the directions.
