The Minima' Cat

So, this is the pattern for my design the Minima(listic) Cat. 

As you may have predicted, you can use any yarn and colour you want. I use the yarn "Tilda" from Svarta fåret, and needle size 2,5. It's a thin yarn and using that with the mentioned needle will make the cat about 14 centimeters high (ears included). And - I use needle size 2.0 for the tail just to make it slimmer. You do as you wish. I also use a part of a black fluffy chenille inside the tail, to make it bendable.
