Meet Silas
I have been drawing long legged cats in the margins of my notebook for over a year now. Always telling myself they would make a great toy. I am sure my coworkers thought I was crazy.
But I am very happy with the way this drawing translated into yarn. At 22 inches tall he is by far my tallest toy to date but because he is so skinny it only took 380 yards of yarn to make him.
Honesty the skinny legs are what kept me from making him for so long. But when I finally started knitting them they flew by. I really think the stripe pattern on the pants took a lot of the stress away. After all it is much easier to count 99 rows when you know it is only 33 stripes.

THANK YOU for this amazing pattern. I’ve almost finished making him (just got to sew the head and arms on). I’m so happy with how he’s turned out – thanks to your great instructions. I’m so impressed with all the little design details that you’ve included. LOVE him
