CATGHAN CAL - WEEK #1 - Peek-A-Mew
Welcome to my first ever Ink & Stitches C2C CAL!
Today we get crocheting, kitty cats!
UPDATE 6/26/24: Hello lovelies! It has been my pleasure to offer this Catghan as a free pattern for five years now and the first two squares will remain available to work through along with me on Frizzy Bee YouTube with the pattern for them here on Frizzy Bee completely free! - Don't forget to subscribe! - They could be turned into a pillow or purse on their own. To access the full, ad-free, pattern, starting today, it can be purchased for a small fee over on Etsy, Ravelry, or Lovecrafts which will give you all the charts, colors, and patterns for every square for this adorable blanket!
Get out your size H crochet hooks and your stash yarn, take a look at where we're headed in this CAL Introduction, and away we go!!!Please consider subscribing to our Newsletter on the right side menu for updates on new patterns, other crafty ventures, etc!
WEEK ONE: Peek-A-Mew
If you follow charts, I've got that for you. If you like patterns, I've got that for you too! If you are new to C2C crocheting and would like to follow along with me on a couple of the squares, I've included the link to get over to my YouTube Channel video for this square.I want to make this easy for you to learn, so novice or pro, you will end up with a wonderful blanket celebrating my favorite furry friends... CATS!
Don't forget to post pictures of your finished squares using the hashtag for this crochet-a-long on social media:

I can't wait to see your finished cats, and eventually, your finished blankets too!This pattern was lovingly tested by the wonderful crocheters over on the Facebook Group: CAL - Crochet A Long. Stop by, join the group, and crochet with us!While this Catghan CAL posts will always be here for free on my blog, for convenience, I've also created one giant PDF file (over 50 pages!) for those who would like to purchase a copy of all the files together in one place. This file will also include how to finish the blanket by joining the squares together and creating a border too. No searching through posts necessary. Plus, it's over there now, should you want to work ahead of the group rather than wait for each week's new square. You can purchase this pattern for a small fee here on Ravelry.
