Lurking behind a washtub, sneaking bits of shepherd’s pie when no one is looking, the Scullery Cat lives out his nine lives as best he can.

The finished project measures 12 inches in height and is 5 inches across the chest. It is worked mostly in the round, mostly in one piece, and can be personalized any number of ways. (The calico’s spots were painted on an all-white cat after stuffing.)
