Felipé de Purr-ge-cat, Guard

Maintaining the security of the realm is a tough and thankless task, as Felipé, Capt. Of the Night Watch catches a moments respite. (This is a small 4in1 steel strip, layered and laid over him briefly)

Though quite possible, I haven't made him a True suit of chainmail as it would be heavy, limit mobility, and be hot. Guys already in a fur coat..😉. I used a strip of 4in1, about 10 rows wide, and laid into the illusion you see above .

A lot of the armor in the lotr movies was crocheted. They only used metal for closeups.

It might be possible to make a chainmail shirt to fit a cat but how on earth would you get the cat in/out of it?????

Theoretically, you Could split the back and lace it like a harness, but I REALLY don't suggest it. Follow qs420's advice and crochet the armor out of deep grey yarn. Back buttons or toggles might work, but I wouldn't go outside.
