Cats create a calming image in many people’s minds. While these fun animals like to play and jump around, they also like to curl up in a ball and cuddle in a chair. The sample afghan shown in the pattern is made with Jiffy yarn, Lion Brand’s mohair-like yarn. This soft yarn makes the afghan just the right thickness and texture to keep you cozy. Just imagine how cute this afghan will look draped over a chair or couch in a sitting room, or spread over the end of a guest room bed. The coziness of cats give this afghan pattern plenty of appeal that you can’t turn down.

Cat and Mouse Afghan features cool cats along the sides of the afghan with a delicate mulit-color edging. This intermediate skill level pattern will sure to please you after completion or make a single cat block to create complimenting crochet pillow. With the number of people that love cats, you are sure to know of someone that will like this afghan or pillow as a gift.
