[knitting] Year of the Rat

I made a quick Year of the Rat toy for the cats:

Happy Lunar New Year (a day late). It’s the Year of the Rat. 🐀 Made a new toy for the cats. #knitting #toyknitting #yearoftherat

The Lunar New Year was on Saturday, so I was a day late. But this was pretty easy to knit up on a Sunday morning.

The pattern is free on Ravelry: The Year of the Rat. I used grey Patons Classic Wool Worsted and a little bit of pink Cascade 220 superwash. I had 6mm safety eyes in my stash.

There is fiber fill in the head and body. I spread it out thin, sprinkled on some catnip and rolled it up before stuffing it in the pieces.

Penny loves this stuff:

Penny and Catnip

I have to hide the toy from her when I'm not around. I'm not sure adding catnip was the best idea.
