How-To and Use Case Notes

How-To: Start with the solid black outline of the cat and the basket to establish the shape. Fill in the large white face area before moving on to the detailed eyes, using tweezers to accurately place the tiny yellow and white highlighting beads. Finish by shading the brown tabby stripes and the woven pattern of the basket.
Use Case: Because of its medium size and solid block shape, this finished piece makes an excellent desk display prop or a cute bedroom wall decoration.

FAQ

What is the best way to handle the detailed eyes?

The eyes contain small, precise clusters of yellow, white, and black beads. Using a pair of fine-tip crafting tweezers will make it much easier to place these individual beads without knocking over the surrounding rows.

Does this pattern require special ironing care?

The design is quite compact and dense, but pay close attention to the top tips of the ears and the rounded edges of the basket during ironing to ensure all perimeter beads fuse together securely.
