Knit Your Own: Fun Food

Doughnut Kitten Knitting Kit

What’s better than a doughnut and a kitten? A doughnut kitten! Now you can knit your very own, from the bonus pattern booklet from my First Time Knits book. The bonus booklet includes the knitting pattern for the Doughnut Kitten, so you’ll need a copy of it for the knitting instructions. You can choose whether or not you’d like to include the booklet in your kit. The booklet also has four other knitting patterns in it too - a koala, a gorilla and a squirrel. You can find the squirrel knitting kit here.

The kit includes enough yarn for you to make more than one doughnut kitten, so why not make one for you and one for someone you know who’d like a sweet treat!

Please note: The light pink yarn included in the kit is a lighter shade than the pink yarn shown in the picture
