It’s bold - it’s fun - it’s got cats. The Catalog Square crochet pattern is an innovative design with clever free-standing ears, and a whole lot of cattitude. You’ll love the challenge of this engaging granny square.

The comprehensive 11-page PDF pattern includes complete written instructions, loads of step-by-step photos, a chart and a print-friendly version. The base pattern is for the Grey Tabby Cat and you also get modification notes for two simple variations. The cats are worked using crochet colour changes and the face details are embroidered on afterwards. Full finishing notes are included.

MORE CATS? The Catalog Square Expansion Pack, with six new cat colourways and a fun cushion project, is also available on Ravelry here.

CROCHET TERMINOLOGY

Intermediate - concentration is required. Varied stitch heights, mid-round colour changes, working into front loops/back loops/spaces between stitches.
