There’s no need to be intimidated if you’ve never tried needle felting before – all that’s involved here is some basic shaping for head and body, and a bit of detailing, making them easier for beginners than they look. Try making a mini version of your own pet cat, or recreate your favourite breed. You can easily adapt the instructions to create a tabby or block-coloured cat, and you can add stripes and solid markings too.
YOU WILL NEED
Two or three felting needles, size 40, spiral or triangular
Needle holder
Felting sponge or brush
For each kitten
20g of merino roving for the main body colour
Small amounts of extra roving for markings and patches
Pink merino roving for inner ears and nose tip
Two 3mm black glass beads, for the eyes
Embroidery thread in colours to match your kitten
Small amount of roving for the neck ribbon
