Comfort Cat

"Comfort Cat" will keep you feeling warm and safe. This snuggly blanket is one of the largest patterns I have. This large blanket can be made smaller by using a thinner yarn and an appropriately sized hook like the sample crocheted by Marjolijn. She used fingering weight yarn and a 2 mm hook. She used Hobbii 8/4 cotton; it took 3100 meters of the black yarn and 4540 meters of the beige yarn. If you use worsted weight your blanket will be a full bedspread.

Mosaic crochet uses single crochet and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color's single crochet stitches to create the design. My patterns instruct you to cut your yarn at the end of each row. The back is striped but often gives a faint impression of the pattern on the front (sort of like illusion knitting).
