Meet Numi, an adorable bi-coloured tomcat who stands at 60cm (23½“) tall and has long limbs and soft ears that are just right for little hands to hold. Numi’s coconut button eyes sparkle in the light, while his bell collar offers a playful jingle.*

Numi is knitted using Scheepjes Truly Scrumptious yarn, a sustainable and durable blend of 50% recycled polyester and 50% acrylic. With over 80 colours available, you can easily customise your kitty by choosing your favourite shades. Scheepjes Chunky Monkey yarn would work equally well!

The toy is knitted flat in rows of stocking stitch, making it an excellent project for beginners, and the finishing details are added with simple stitching. A handmade Numi is sure to become a treasured companion for its new owner, capturing the love and care you put into every stitch.

For children under 3 years, please replace the button eyes with stitched features and omit the bell.
