Door Hanger Bouncy Cat Toy Reviewed by Mary Ellen Lunde on 2009-11-12
Great project for craft fairs or to donate to your local animal rescue for sale as a fund-raiser. Especially good for using up scraps of yarn. I did find the ball a little large so I stopped at 18 stitches. Also for ball, I used 1 strand lightweight yarn & 1 strand eyelash yarn or fun fur. Last comment on ball, I needed a fairly large size jingle bell so it could be heard through stuffing. etc.
