Description:
Tabby Cat Mosaic Blanket is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern. I wanted a blanket that showed the whole cat picture when draped across the back of a sofa, so this pattern is crocheted in the usual way and the picture works up sideways, starting with the stripy cat’s tail and back paws, and ending with its nose and whiskers! Crocheting this using a copper colour yarn turns this into a ginger cat, rather than a silver tabby.

Overview:
This is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern, worked row by row. Each row is worked in one colour. At the end of each row the yarn is cut, and the next row is worked on the front side of the work again with the other colour. This pattern does not include any slanted or angled stitches, just standard stitches.

Pattern files included:

• written instructions (both UK and US terms)
• large chart to view on screen (or use with apps like Knit Companion)
• smaller charts, split out to A4 size for easier printing

Charts and written patterns are included for both right-handed and left-handed use.

Size:
This item is 228 stitches wide and has 275 rows. In DK yarn it will be about 120cm wide and 150cm long (about 47” wide and 59” long). If you choose to add a border, this will make it a bit bigger.

Yarn:
You can use any yarn and hook size you like for this pattern, just be aware that the resulting size may be different, and it may use a different amount of yarn. I recommend using two colours with a good contrast, so that the pattern shows up clearly.

Example yarn usage:
Yarn: Stylecraft Special DK
12 x 100g balls of Colour A (white background) - uses about 3143 metres (3437 yards)
8 x 100g balls of Colour B (ginger cat) - uses about 1992 metres (2178 yards)

This pattern does not include a border. You have the option of leaving the ends as a fringe, sewing them in, or adding an envelope border if you prefer.
