Granny square crochet pattern

Crochet bright and scrappy

Like cats? Handy with a crochet hook? Always wanted to memorialise your puss but didn’t know how? Then this is the pattern for you. Quick and easy, this playful crochet square is ripe for customising to your favourite feline. THE PATTERN The Many Cats Square is worked in simple stitches. The background square is worked in joined rounds and the appliqué cat is sewn on afterwards. The written pattern is for ONE SQUARE and ONE KIND OF CAT. It includes detailed notes and plenty of colour photographs, as well as suggestions on how to personalise your cat. I also give you some tips if you want to join your squares into a cushion. Note these are tips only, rather than written instructions. CROCHET TERMINOLOGY The pattern is written in English in UK crochet terms. A conversion chart to US terms is included. LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY Adventurous beginner: a few different techniques but nothing particularly challenging. THINGS YOU’LL NEED I used DK/8ply yarn (tapestry wool) in 6 colours and a 4mm (US G/6) hook. But feel free to substitute any weight yarn and its appropriate-sized hook – your measurements and yardage may vary accordingly. This is a great project for using those fancy, furry art yarns you have in your cupboard. For one square you will need about 10m (11 yds) for the main background colour and about 9m (10yds) for the cat, plus smaller amounts for the other colours. For the eyes, I used 6mm safety eyes. You could use beads or black yarn instead. And if you make your squares into a cushion, you’ll need a cushion insert. Mine measures about 45cmx 45cm (18in x 18in). MEASUREMENTS Using DK/8-ply weight yarn and a 4mm (US G/6) hook, your square will measure 10cm x 10cm (4in x 4in) after blocking. ———————————————————————- Please note that this is a beautifully-formatted and printable PDF version of a pattern that can be found for free, with ads, on my blog.

This PDF pattern gives easy and specific directions, along with photos, to make the interlocking squares table runner shown. The runner can be made using colors that seem best for the table or dresser it is going to be placed on. I have also converted all the measurements to Metric measurements for my followers outside the U.S. The runner is 15.5 inches (39.37 cm) wide and 46.5 inches (118.11 cm) long. I have made this pattern many times and would be glad to make one for you if you’d rather buy them already made! You just need to tell me what colors you would like. Or if you would be interested in having me quilt the runner, like I’m showing on the video, let me know. The cost of the quilting would be $20.00, which includes the batting. You are responsible for shipping in both directions. I can also sew on your binding for another $14.99. If interested in this, send me a message and I will send you more information. The price is for the pattern only. The PDF pattern will be sent by Etsy to the e-mail address you give when placing your order.
