Cattitude Blanket
As a dedicated cat owner and passionate knitter, I understand the challenge of keeping curious cats away from yarn. This delightful double-knit blanket beautifully captures the playful spirit of a cat chasing after a ball of yarn, with the ball playfully unwinding as your feline friend engages in its antics. Perfect for snuggling under with your kitties, this blanket not only serves as a cozy accessory but also as a conversation starter!
This reversible blanket showcases intricate double knitting techniques, featuring contrasting color schemes on each side. Detailed step-by-step instructions for the double knitting method are included, making it accessible for both novice and experienced knitters. Whether you’re simply looking to create a stunning throw or a practical baby blanket, this pattern offers versatility without compromising style.
The pattern is available in two sizes: a charming baby blanket (as pictured) and a larger throw blanket. The finished size of the baby blanket measures approximately 40” x 39” (101 cm x 99 cm), making it an ideal small lap blanket for delightful cuddles. Meanwhile, the throw blanket features a more generous finished size of approximately 50” x 55” (127 cm x 140 cm), perfect for snuggling up on the couch or draping over a chair.
To create this beautiful cat-inspired blanket, you’ll need the following yarn:
- Baby Blanket: 1500 yards (1372 m) of each of two colors of worsted weight yarn.
- Throw Blanket: 2500 yards (2286 m) of each of two colors of worsted weight yarn.
The project is worked using size 5 US (3.75 mm) needles. This fun and engaging knitting pattern offers not just a warm and stylish blanket, but also a joyful way to celebrate the bond between you and your furry companions. Dive into this project today and create something special that captures the essence of your playful kitties!
