Supercat and Batcat

Here are a pair of Amineko made for a pair of young brothers for Christmas.  Having made a Supercat before, I knew it could be done again, though this time I had the challenge of trying to make a Batcat.  I made these for the grandsons of a friend of my mother's, so the brief was for any well-known superheroes, they just had to be different ones.

I thought about Ironman, the Incredible Hulk, Flash Gordon, Spiderman but chose what I thought would be the easiest to recognise.  I was really happy with how Supercat had turned out the first time I'd made him, and this time around I was even more impressed with Batcat!  He's adorable if I may say so myself!

Custom details




Here are some close-up pics of individual details I've used in my custom cats. 


 Princess Leia's hair buns




Superman's chest logo

 





Julia's ice skate was made by modifying a simple baby bootie pattern.  The blade was made by bending a paper clip and single crocheting over it to cover the metal. 

 



Ballerina's tutu frill. 






Bride and Groom details.   Bride's veil was made using picot stitch and skirt was made using scallop stitch, just to add different textures to the cat.  Bowtie for the groom with red fabric rose, shirt cuffs and placket with buttons.
