CAT knitting pattern 🐈

Hi! As I mentioned yesterday, I was asked to help creating some more CAT blocks. So here’s another CAT knitting pattern! 😀

Christine wants to add these new blocks to my previous CAT pattern and my PAW PRINT pattern to create a PURRfect blanket for her granddaughter.  And I LOOOVE the idea!! I’m sure many cat loving people will find them useful too.

So here’s the first one! If you want to give more ideas for CAT related blocks, please leave a comment below.

THE ENTIRE CAT KNITTING PATTERN (written and charted) IS BELOW.

ABBREVIATIONS

• CO: cast on
• RS: right side
• WS: wrong side
• st: stitch
• k: knit
• p: purl

INSTRUCTIONS

– CO 43 sts with US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.

I always cast on and bind off stitches with larger needles than I use for the main work. This prevent my cast on and bind off rows from being too tight.

– With US 6 (4 mm) needles, knit 4 rows.

Slip first stitch on every row as if you were to knit it, but without knitting it (except on the first row). It will form a neat and sturdy border.

– Continue working as follows:

4 garter sts, CATS collection N°1 pattern over 35 sts, 4 garter sts​ (55 rows).

– Knit 4 rows.

– Bind off with US 7 (4.5 mm) needle. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
