Knit a little magic...
one stitch, one spell, one wish at a time.
✨Tatters the Cat
Meet Tatters, the first peculiar little inhabitant of the Curiosity Cabinet.
Tatters is a small, rustic cat poppet made to hold an intention in the form of a written wish, prayer, spell, hope, or enchantment.
The project begins with a basic knit rectangle. Before the final stitches are worked, you’ll write your enchantment on a tiny parchment scroll, roll it tightly, and encircle it with a golden ring. The scroll is placed inside an herbal sachet containing herbs traditionally associated with love and luck, then tucked inside your poppet along with wool stuffing.
You'll use the included embroidery floss and assorted embellishments to add eyes, markings, symbols, whiskers - whatever curious details bring Tatters to life.
Whether you approach the project as a spell, a prayer, a creative ritual, or simply a fun bit of handwork, Tatters keeps your intention safely tucked among the stitches.
✨ What’s Included
This kit contains the materials needed to make two Tatters the Cat poppets:
- Non-superwash bulky wool yarn for two poppets
- Please select a color for each of your poppets in the dropdown boxes
- Wool roving for stuffing two poppets
- Teardrop pendant with embroidery floss, crewel thread, and tapestry wool for embellishing two poppets
- Two handcrafted herbal sachets filled with an enchanting blend of lavender, rosemary, calendula, rose, and mint.
- Two tiny parchment scrolls with golden rings
- One tin of embellishments for two poppets
- One little book of spells
- One Black Cat stitch marker
- One Tatters the Cat knitting pattern (digital download)
✨ You Will Also Need
- Needles: US 8/ 5mm or size to obtain gauge, in your preferred needle for working in the round, plus an extra needle in the same size to complete the three needle bind-off. I suggest a 20-30” circular needle and a DPN, three DPNs, or two circular needles.
- Tapestry needle
- Embroidery needle (optional)
- Scissors
- A pinch of whimsy
✨ A Quick, Customizable Knit
Tatters is an intentionally simple project and will take approximately 2–4 hours to knit, assemble, and embellish each poppet.
The straightforward construction makes Tatters approachable while leaving plenty of room for creative interpretation. No two will emerge from the Cabinet exactly alike.
