Welcome to my crochet blog! Today, I’m excited to share with you the pattern for the “I love my cat” corner to corner blanket. This blanket is the perfect way to show your feline companion how much you care, and it’s especially fitting as a Valentine’s Day gift for your cat. As a self-identified “crazy cat lady,” I know how much love and affection we have for our furry friends, and I love the idea of creating a large, cozy blanket that tells the world just how much we care for our cats. Whether you’re an experienced crocheter or a beginner, I hope you’ll find this pattern easy to follow and fun to make. Let’s get started!
If you have not done C2C before, don’t be intimidated! It’s a very easy process once you get the hang of it! The Crochet Crowd have a wonderful tutorial, they explain all the elements to C2C very clearly, including using bobbins for the colour changes: Crochet Crowd Tutorial
MATERIALS
Hook: 5mm. This project is versatile you can use any hook size you would like, just note that this might change the size of the finished piece.
Yarn: This pattern will work well with DK or Aran weight yarn. Yarn used to complete the blanket in the picture is Women’s Institute Aran Yarn (660m (722yds) per 400g skein; 100% Acrylic). Total of 900 meters for project.
Colours Required:
In the written instructions the colour yarn is identified by the letter in brackets, followed by the number of blocks to be made. For example, Row 1 is 1 block in cream.
A: Cream (approx. 600 meters)

The colours in this project can be changed to suit your needs.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Approximately 39″ x 29″
Gauge
To make the gauge complete 4 rows so that you have a piece that is 4 blocks tall x 4 blocks wide. This should measure 3.25″ x 3.25″. If you are using a different hook or yarn, that may change the size. This size calculator will help you check the size of your completed blanket based on the hook and yarn you are using Stardust Gold C2C Calculator
