Numi the Cat

The toy is knitted flat in rows of stocking stitch, making it an excellent project for beginners, and the finishing details are added with simple stitching. A handmade Numi is sure to become a treasured companion for its new owner, capturing the love and care you put into every stitch.

Numi is knitted using Scheepjes Truly Scrumptious yarn, a sustainable and durable blend of 50% recycled polyester and 50% acrylic. With over 80 colours available, you can easily customise your kitty by choosing your favourite shades. Scheepjes Chunky Monkey yarn would work equally well!

Meet Numi, an adorable bi-coloured tomcat who stands at 60cm (23½") tall and has long limbs and soft ears that are just right for little hands to hold. Numi’s coconut button eyessparkle in the light, while his bell collar offers a playful jingle.*

*For children under 3 years, please replace the button eyes with stitched features and omit the bell.
