Notes:
This is a LATE-BEGINNER friendly crochet pattern. This piece is worked centre out, as a regular granny square is. It is based off a circle to square granny square with 3D aspects incorporated to make that kitty pop! The pattern includes a colour change and a stitch holder is required. The stitches primarily used are the single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, stacked single crochet, slip stitch, chain, popcorn stitch, and back post treble stitch. It starts with a magic circle. It is written in US terms and the measurements provided are in cm.
