Make a Felted Cat Toy

Feline Dim Sum
These adorable, quick knitting cat toys are inspired by Chinese food: wontons and egg rolls. They're a little different than your average catnip mouse, but they're also a little more fun.

Any Yarn Toy Cat
Suitable for a cat toy or just as a toy cat, this cute little project involves easy stripes and shaping. Knowing my cats, I'd want to leave off the eyes.

Doggy's Got Style Sweater
This adorable sweater is made for a medium-small dog, but detailed instructions will allow you to scale up or down. The striped mosaic garter stitch adds a level of sophistication you don't often see on dog sweaters.

Cat Muumuu
This project really extends beyond trying to keep your pet warm into downright feline torture. That doesn't mean you shouldn't knit up this quick and easy ruffled muumuu that can also double as a human capelet.

Fish Toy
No, it's not a toy for fish, it's a cat toy that looks like a fish. Made from a scrap of multi-colored yarn, this project is incredibly quick and very cute, too.

Pampered Pet Pillow
This pet pillow is a perfect project for a beginner because it's just straight knitting sewed to a pillow form. Made with Fun Fur, this project would be great for a kids' room, too.

Felted Kitty Bed
This project is basically a big, felted bowl for your cat to sleep in. It's very cute and knit in the round on double-pointed needles. This project would make a good decorative bowl, even if you didn't have a cat to put in it.
