Cats and the Midnight Sky

Are they lovers, friends, siblings? Are they male or female? The only thing that’s for certain is that these two cats are enjoying the still night under the stars and each other’s company. The rest of their story is up to you to define. Using Overlay Mosaic Crochet, this baby blanket features two cats sitting close together under a sky dotted with twinkling stars. This pattern requires approximately 1,600-1,650 yards between 4 different colors. Using worsted weight yarn and 5.5mm hook, the finished dimensions are 37inx42in. Construction: I used overlay mosaic for the main/center blanket with an envelope border to hide the ends followed by overlay mosaic crochet in the round for the outer paw print border. Your purchase includes line by line written instructions for the entire pattern as well as PDF charts.
