August Cat from 2022: A Year of Cats eBook of Interlocking (Locked Filet Mesh / LFM) and Overlay Mosaic Crochet Patterns and Charts

Each month in 2022 I published a new cat pattern! You can grab the eBook, "2022: A Year of Cats" or just pick your favorite squares. My 'other name' for *August Cat* is *Striped Cat*. I am very creative with naming my patterns, can't you tell?

**You will receive one file containing:**
- the interlocking written line-by-line pattern
- a one-page chart (81 x 81)

**And another file with:**
- the mosaic written line-by-line pattern (including instructions for an envelope border)
- an X-marked chart (77 x 77)

The interlocking mesh dots and border lines have been removed for the overlay mosaic version of the pattern.

The Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) interlocking crochet method uses only chain spaces and double crochets to create a mesh; two colors are worked alternately which creates the pattern.

Mosaic crochet is 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).
