Horrible or cute? Cute, definitely! This bone kitty is not too complicated to make. Just be sure to put strong wire in the spine/tail section to make it stay upright. I am currently making another one (or two…) using glow yarn. This pattern is brilliant.

Great pattern, easy to follow, and my Bonesy McBonecat is a good kitty! Used Aran ivory yarn and 2 strands of black DK yarn to make him, and he came out quite large with a really long spine/tail. Used 2mm steel wire; it’s just about strong enough for him to sit and lie down. Definitely recommend this
