Treat your cat to their very own Christmas stocking with ‘Felix’ – a fish-shaped stocking with a roomy pocket for treats and toys, and a pinched fin tail finished with a button.

‘Felix’ is a quick, beginner-friendly sew: a front, a back, a folded pocket and a hanging tab. Make one for your own cat, or as a handmade gift for a fellow cat lover – it will come out again year after year.
