This pattern was inspired by my newly adopted kitten, Matilda aka Tilly. If you have followed me on social media, you will know that I medically fostered a very sick kitten with a double eye infection. Even though we fought the eye infections with numerorus medicines, even after they cleared up, her eyes still ruptured and she went completely blind. After her surgery to remove both eyes, I was able to officially adopt her. Through all her sickness and pain, this little girl has remained so positive and happy. She is a very unique and special kitten and I love her dearly.
I think the Ghost Cat turned out really cute and I hope ya'll love it as much as I do!

Pull on the tail end to close the hole.

Repeat from the * 2 more times, sl st into the next 4 sts, picot, sl st into the same st, sl st into the next 3 sts, picot, sl st into the same st, sl st into the next 4 sts. = 4 bumps and 2 ears
Cut the yarn, pull through the last stitch, weave in the ends and add buttons for the eyes. Sew on whiskers, if you would like but I like mine without.
