The world needs more cat knitting patterns. Those goofy, lovable little creatures capture our hearts in unique ways every single day, and it's natural to want to knit for the people—or creatures—you love. After all, dogs get sweater patterns galore! It's time that cats got their moment in the limelight.

This list includes cat toy patterns, cat clothes, and even cat-themed patterns for yourself for knitters of any skill level, so no preferences or levels of experience are left out.

Legend has it that this cat sweater is incredibly lucky.

Candy DIY Catnip Toy
Just because your cat stares at you every time you sneak a piece of chocolate out of the kids' Halloween candy stash doesn't mean you should give him any. Distract him with his very own catnip toy shaped just like a piece of candy! Sure, it doesn't have any tails to entice him, but he'll probably still swat it around a couple of times, anyway, giving you just enough time to grab some more candy.

Perhaps the weather is too warm for a hat, or you don't want to mess up your hair too much. You don't have to be left out of the cat knitting fun! Cat headbands are just as easy to make as cat hats, and still give you that purrfectly feline look you're craving. For best results, pair with cat wing eyeliner and long nails.
