Pawsitively Remembered is a cozy, double-knit blanket designed to celebrate the love we carry for the pets who leave paw prints on our hearts.

This reversible throw features a heart and paw print motif worked in vibrant, shifting colors against a soft neutral background. Whether you’re honoring a beloved companion or simply drawn to meaningful, color-rich projects, this blanket offers both comfort and creativity in every stitch.

Double knitting creates a fully reversible fabric with mirrored motifs and inverted colors on each side—no wrong side—resulting in a thick, squishy blanket that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Once established, the stitch pattern becomes rhythmic and meditative, while the color changes give you the freedom to make it entirely your own.

Perfect for gifting, memorial projects, or curling up on the couch with something warm and meaningful.

A Note from the Designer
This design was created in memory of my dog, Rizzo. Every color shift felt like a small way to hold onto those memories and turn them into something lasting. My hope is that this pattern gives you space to do the same—whether that’s honoring a pet, a moment, or simply creating something that feels like home.
