This stroller-size blanket is the perfect gift for cat-loving parents-to-be. It features a chubby cat silhouette surrounded by four large pawprints, with the letters of the alphabet running along the top and bottom. The central panel is surrounded by an attractive textured border that will lie flat. It is knit seamlessly from the bottom up and can be knit in any worsted or aran weight yarn.

The pattern uses charts for everything except the border, but written instructions for each chart are also included.

Approximate finished size: 28” wide by 37” high
