This tapestry crochet pattern includes 20 cats, each available with four background options: checkered, flowers, stripes, and waves. Both right- and left-handed versions are included.

Language: English, using US crochet terms.
Skill Level: intermediate.

The patterns includes:

  • Instructions on how tapestry is made
  • Graph charts
  • Color block charts
  • Stitch Fiddle links to the graph charts, where you can edit the graph

Materials Needed:

  • Crochet hook: I used a 2.5 mm hook
  • Yarn in various colors: I used Friends Cotton 8/4 from Hobbii, a superfine 100% cotton yarn (fingering weight, Weight 1). Each skein weighs 50 grams (1.76 oz) and has a length of 160 meters (175 yards). I needed less than one skein of each color for each tapestry.
  • Dowel rods: I used long bamboo sticks which I cut to size myself
  • Scissors

Project Size:
The final size will vary depending on the yarn and hook size you use. Each graph is 55 stitches × 66 rows and measures approximately 20 cm wide × 22 cm tall (7.9” × 8.7”).
