✨ ABOUT THE DESIGN

This charming knitted blanket combines classic patchwork construction with soft 3D cat appliqués for a unique handmade look. The front is built from nine knitted squares arranged in a checkerboard layout, while the back uses the same grey-and-cream checkerboard arrangement without the central decorations. The two layers are joined together and finished with folded garter-stitch border bands.

The front design includes:

🐱 Four adorable face-cat appliqués
😴 Two sweet sleeping-cat faces
👀 Two open-eye cat faces
🐈 Two rear-view cat designs
🐾 Two large dusty-pink paw-print motifs
🩶 One grey heart motif
💕 Pink inner ears and noses
🐾 Decorative paw-print corner blocks
🧶 Soft raised appliqués with light stuffing
✨ Contrast decorative seam details

The exact front layout is designed with open-eye cats at A1 and B2, sleeping cats at A3 and C1, rear-view cats at B1 and C3, pink paw prints at A2 and C2, and a grey heart at B3.

📏 FINISHED SIZE

Approximate finished blanket size:

72 × 72 cm / 28.5 × 28.5 in

The central 3 × 3 panel measures approximately 60 × 60 cm / 23.5 × 23.5 in, with each individual patchwork square measuring approximately 20 × 20 cm / 8 × 8 in.

Please remember that finished measurements are design targets. Your final size may vary depending on yarn, needle size, tension, stuffing, seaming, and blocking.
