What are some ideas for safe hand-knitted cat toys?
I wanted to crochet and/or some toys for the cats for this holiday season.
So far all I can think of is the traditional felted mouse with catnip, and a stuffed sardine. I can’t sew very well but I can knit and crochet. However, I have run out of ideas. Suggestions are welcome. 
(The cats like to fetch and they like crinkly toys, as well.)
Tips on general safety or sources that have good ideas for homemade toys are welcome.
To spice up your toys, tuck some catnip insidel. They won’t even care what it is.
However, I recommend joining the Ravelry website (its free), they have tons of patterns and I have seen plenty of ideas for cat and dogs toys. My favorite were the cat toys shaped like sushi peices

Have you seen kitty kickers? My cat loves them. A tube of upholstery fabric or denim with a catnip stalk and some stuffing in the middle. It’s big enough that the cat can get all of it’s feet on there and then they roll around. When the cat nip smell wears off you can snap the stalk and freshen it. Catnip works if you don’t have the whole stalk. Could be knit and felted too but the sewing would be pretty straight forward as well.
