(68) Note: The next round, I have spaced out the instructions, grouping them by sides of the bread so hopefully you won't get too lost! The 'corner' is the center stitch of any 3stitch grouping 4.

Assembly
With wrong sides of bread together, match the bottom centers and all corners. Sew through both loops of second bread and back loop only of the first bread. Like this:
Stitch all the way around and then you can sew in al the ends. Yippee!
Bread center
With the holes in the center of the bread matched as best as possible, join your white yarn at any point and sc in every stitch around. This is pretty awkward to do, but is easier if you look down into the bread and sort of fold the rest of the bread back out of your way as you stitch. FO and sew in the ends when done. The opening stretches A LOT, but if you are worried your cat's head is going to be too big, then do that part with a larger hook.

Things I did to my cats:
The original attempt, a yummy slice of Oat Bread. Rooster thought so, too. He was not offended because he really really likes bread. And crackers. I chose the wrong cat, obviously.
So then I decided I should just crochet bread because this is really good bread and I didn't want to waste any more of it!! So we have:
"You disappoint me, Human" Your turn! Have fun torturing the cat!
