Wonton anyone?

When we were deciding on getting kittens right away I started looking for unique patterns for cat nip filled toys that no other cat around this neighbourhood would have.  That is when I stumbled upon a cat nip filled wonton toy.  I immediately fell in love with this pattern because I love the idea of it being a food item made into a heavenly cat nip filled treat for cats.  The one problem I ran into is that the finished product was way too large for my 3 month old kittens so I gave them to my friend who has 2 fully grown sweet heart of cats.  I hear that they really enjoy them and are asking for more!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Unfinished: 5 inch square. Finished: 2.5 inch triangular wonton shape
MATERIALS
Plymouth Encore [75% acrylic, 25% wool; 200yd/m per 100g skein] ; color: 256 [cream]; 1 skein [or scrap yarn totaling 18 yards]      - I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Ultrasoft (100% cotton); Worsted weight; 50 gr (1 3/4 oz.).  Colour white 1 set US #5/3.75mm straight needles cotton balls, yarn scraps, of fabric bits for stuffing catnip tapestry or yarn needle
GAUGE
24 sts/30 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch  My gauge; 20 sts/26 rows  A note about gauge: For goodness sake, do not go out and buy yarn for these projects if you have any sort of stash. These are perfect projects for using up the yarn at the end of a skein. If you don't have worsted weight yarn like I used, don't fret. You can still follow the pattern, though you may end up with a slightly smaller or larger cat toy. The important thing is to make sure the gauge is much firmer than is normally required for the yarn you are using. If you knit these projects in the normal gauge for the yarn, your cat toys will be too loose and you will end up with catnip all over the floor. The yarn I used normally calls for US size #8 needles and a gauge of 20 sts = 4". As long as you are knitting these projects in a tight gauge, go ahead and use whatever yarn you've got.
I used the same size of needle mentioned above in this gauge and found it to work out rather nicely.
DIRECTIONS
CO 30 sts. Work in St st for 35 rows, or until piece measures as tall as it is wide. BO all sts.
An easy way to see if you have a square is to bring the left corner of your work up towards the right side of the needle where you are working.  Without pulling or stretching if it reaches nicely and measures across the top and sides and is even then bind off.  If it doesn't reach do another row and test again.  Do this until it is even. See my attempt at an illustration below.					.
FINISHING
Fold your square diagonally to form a triangle. Sew the seam up one side of the triangle. Pour a little bit of catnip into the triangle, then put some of your stuffing on top, and add more catnip. Being careful not to dump catnip into your lap, sew the other side of the triangle closed. Pull the far corners of the triangle together to form wonton shape. Hold the corners together while you sew them together, working your needle on the "inside" of the corners so your stitching won't be visible.  Checking for a perfect square
