DESCRIPTION:

Everyone needs a hug sometimes. These two sweet and serene cats have staggered arms allowing them to come together in an embrace which completes a heart on their bellies. It's a match made in heaven!

No sewing machine is required; everything is done by hand. Use the handy shopping lists to gather all the readily available supplies you will need to make your hugging cats.

Print the pattern pieces on regular paper (8.5 x 11" for North America; A4 for everyone else) without the need for any enlarging.

APPROX FINISHED SIZE:

Each cat measures approximately 8.5" tall by 8" wide, including arms (22 x 20 cm)

Once you have assembled the materials and mastered the basic stitches each cat should take about 3-4 hours to sew.
