I found this lacy adaptation of a Peruvian cat motif in a 1960s book by Dorothy Reade. She converted designs from many different kinds of textiles and artifacts into knitting designs. This lazy, lacy cat wants to cuddle around your neck and keep you warm while you run errands on a breezy afternoon or sit at your desk in a chilly office.

Pattern suggests Plymouth alpaca sport , but the Cloud 9 makes up very soft and pretty. Knitted in 2 pieces, then kitchener stitched together.
