Cat fans beware: This cute sock cat is looking for a new home! The best: The instructions are very easy!

You need this:

And this is how it's done:

Cut parts: First cut the individual parts of the body. For this, use the leaflet from the instructions (all instructions available for download under the article) as a template and possibly mark the pattern with a chalk pen. Pull the left sock apart with the heel facing up. Cut the right sock lying almost flat.

Sew body: From the left sock (without cuffs), which was cut in the middle to just before the heel, the body with head and hind legs: turn sock to left and stitch the long sides of the legs in one go. Leave the small openings on the paws open.

Sew other parts: The remainder is formed from the right sock (without cuffs): The long stripe gives the tail, the halved stripe without heel the front legs, the middle halved toe tip the ears. Turn all over and sew on the long side, tail and legs in addition on a short side. Sew arms and leave them open at one point.

Fill with cotton wool: Turn all parts of the body to the right. Now it goes to the stuffing: stuff all parts bulging with cotton wool, only fill the ears with a little less cotton. Tip: for the narrow openings z. B. take a pen to help. Then sew all openings so that the cotton does not pour out. Sew on the paws by hand.

Assembling: Now the individual parts of the body have to be put together: sew the forelegs by hand to the side of the torso, put the ears on the top right and left and fix the tail in any position on the back. Tip: work best with matching yarn.

Details: Now comes the subtleties: embroider on the paws and nose and mouth on the face with contrasting embroidery thread each three claws. Two shirt buttons are used as eyes. Finally, put a piece of lace ribbon as a scarf around your neck and fix it with a decorative button (sew on).

And this is how the mouse is made:

Cutting parts: Cutting: For the mouse pull apart a baby sock so that the heel points upwards. If necessary, draw out the parts of the body with a chalk pen after the template has been produced, cut out. The triangular incised foot part with toe tip gives the body, the halved heel tip the ears.

Assembling: turn body and ears to the left and sew on one open side. Turn parts to the right again, stuff them with cotton wool (bounce the body, ears only a little) and sew them by hand. Then sew the ears (as shown in the picture) to the right and left of the head.

Attach details: For the tactile hair, use the embroidery needle to attach three pieces of wool thread below the nose one after the other. For the tail braid three more wool threads to the braid, knot ends and sew on one end with a few stitches on the back of the mouse. Done is the playmate!
