GAUGE:

24 sts + 32 rows = 4" (10 cm) on size 5 (3.25mm) needles BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Cut the yarn to 8 inches, thread through a large-eyed blunt needle. Sew through remaining four stitches and tie off.

Do not cut yarn! Instead, starting at the bottom, sew the edge together, joining the sides. Stop about a half inch [1 cm] from the end.

Fill with catnip and sew to end Tie off securely and finish with end inside the piece (sew through it, pull the yarn out the other side, clip and pull so the end of the yarn is is inside the piece)
