Hi Friends, I hope you enjoy the video. I am really loving this stitch but I'm sure that's no surprise if you've seen any of my videos. I am a big cat lover and I appreciate that you don't fuss about the cat hair that usually appears in my videos. lol. Let me know if you've done this one before. It's a lot of fun! x
@@saraferguson1156 oooh , thats a toughie. For crocheting , that’s not going to be possible , I don’t think. You could add embroidery on each individual cat , though 👍🏻💕
@@saraferguson1156maybe you could use yarn with color dots in them (think Red Heart Super Saver’s Buff Fleck) or variegated yarn that changes colors quickly?
This was my sister's favorite stitch. When she died in 2013, I made all of her grandsbabies a blanket with their favorite colors and this stitch. It's a super easy and beautiful stitch.
My local cat shelter is having an art show to raise money and now I know exacly what im going to donate. A cat scarf! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I started to crochet a vest with this motif. I made a little change which I think made it better: For the second row instead of the shell (2dc+1ch+2dc) I made 5 dc. This way there isn't a hole in the middle of the face of the cats :) Thank you very much, as another cat lover I really appreciate this motif.
I don't know how I've lived this many years without encountering this stitch. I absolutely adore it! And thank you for making your videos so clear and easy to understand. I'm going to go loot my yarn stash now to see if I have appropriate colours for the kitties of my life.🐱
@@PlayHookywithMe The only caveat is that it's the most expensive blanket I've ever made. I have 29 cats per row and 29 rows. If I were to do it all over, I'd go 30 and 30 (900 cats) I used nine or more colors; black, light grey, dark grey, dark stripes, white, cream, tweed, gold and orange, all pretty much at random.
I made a (long lol) comment above re scarves. This type of pattern can be quite bulky and not drape well for scarves if made up in worsted. I use the finer "baby weight", LOVE Baby Bernat, and a size H/8-5mm hook to create a more supple textile for scarves, shrugs and shawls. A nice little shrug [simple triangle, one motif bottom row, 3 on the next, increasing by 2 each row until piece measures about 45"-50" across (try on as you go, I have broad shoulders), add a nice shell pattern border all round to finish] would make a lovely donation to someone in a nursing home or hospice and would be a nice way to honor your mother's memory.😊
I'm so excited to try this! I already can think of friends that I want to gift a cat scarf to. Thanks for the tutorial. Tutorials like these are how I have gained confidence in my crochet abilities. 😊
Oh my goodness!😍 Now I've just got to figure out a way to use this stitch in the round and make a little long pullover sweater dress for a great grandbaby with it! 🤔 So so cute! Thank you!
I have been wanting to learn this stitch! Thank you! On an amusing note, my husband sat down to watch the video with me. I think he’s convinced crochet is some sort of magic. How interesting to think that I can follow along easily with the stitches, but for him it’s gibberish.
I'm really bad at crocheting. I do plan to try this stitch. What has me commenting before I even watch this video is the cat element. I had the most wonderful Siamese of almost 20 years. When I decided to try my hand at crocheting and knitting, he was already quite wisend. I started around 2017, the little fella was born in 2002. He helped me roll every ball of yarn for every bad afghan I knitted or crocheted. As I brushed him, I always worked some of his fur into each and every thing I made so I would have part of him in everything I made for as long as it held together. They aren't pretty works by any means, but they are all perfectly rectangular, and either double crochet or basic knit. There are pull marks from our tug of war as he played and I crocheted. He's been gone since 2021 and I'm just now picking my crochet hooks up again.
Already so excited to start a cardigan with this stitch, 2 different browns, one light yellow/golden and a black would look amazing! And then in an ombre kind of way, omg this cardigan is going to be one of my favourites i can already tell!!!
When my mother taught me how to crochet decades ago, she never included the chain the loop is coming out of in her count. I always wondered how my stitches were always off count. This explains SO many of my weird looking afghans. Thank you so much!
Not just for cat lovers! This could also represent several small dog breeds! My sister had Westies, and this silhouette looks as much like a Westie as any of the patterns I've found under that name. Sis started working with Little White Dog Rescue, and not even sure what breed her little Blair is, but this motif fits her to a T. She is actually smaller than my cats, but the proportions here, ears, face etc.,are perfect. I'm planning a holiday table runner to donate to their online fundraiser. Will make rows running the long way, alternating red and white like a candy cane, and, it is Little White Dog lol. Will add a fancy scalloped border all around in green for a festive finish. Might even make some matching placemats if I have the time. I had purchased huge skeins of those colors some time back, and am always on the lookout for new patterns to use in holiday projects. Everyone has enough Santas, elves and angels 😊
Oh that’s so awesome! I’m so glad you said this because I can see dogs in there too! Westies, yes! I’ve been playing with the idea of the “paws” being reworked to look like long ears because the rest reads as dog too if that works. I’ll keep playing with it! 💕
I keep seeing this stitch....I think a higher being is telling me to make this since I have a ton of house kitties and ferals (all spayed and neutered😸.) Thank you for making it super easy to comprehend. Have a super blessed day!
Haha 😆 I can relate - that has become my life these past few months. I have a feral momma that delivered her kittens under my house in June. In the process now of spay / neutering and caregiving to this beautiful family. ❤️
I love this stitch and can't wait to use it! I like the wavy side and usually add it as a border to the rest of the project, particularly on blankets, but also on washcloths and at least on the opposite end on scarves.
Great pattern! Thanks! Saw someone mention making a scarf to donate and thought I'd put in my $.02. Having worked this and similar patterns, unless you use "Baby" yarn with a larger hook, the piece becomes too bulky and stiff for a scarf. I made a simple triangular shawl(starting with one motif on bottom, 3 the next row, increasing by 2 each row until preferred size is reached, then added a shell border all around to give it a neat finish) using Baby Bernat in Lilac, Pink an Mint and a size H/8-5mm hook. This came out nice and stretchy, drapes beautifully and elicits compliments whenever I wear it. Thinking of working up another with more Autumnal colors. Another idea, is little "Cat Mats." Mine love to hook their claws in chair seats when they stretch, and my Nebelung sheds long, fine grey hairs that are hard to vacuum off. I've made squares the size of the chair seats using rug yarn, or a double strand of regular worsted or crochet cotton, again size H/8 5mm hook. Single crochet all around edge to tighten up the shape. These are game changer! Have many and can toss in wash saving my upholstery, as I have 3(down from 5) formerly feral cats. I have cotton ones on all kitchen and outdoor chairs as the metal gets really hot in the sun, and acrylic makes me itch. Acrylic ones are super cozy, so I toss one on the bed and a couple on the sofa. Kitties will always choose to lie on top of something ( your book, homework etc lol), so they go for these rather than the duvet or afghan etc. Have 1 Tortie who refuses to eat on the floor with the others, so always jumps up on the sideboard and demands(Full TORTITUDE) her dish be placed there. She was scratching the finish, so I made a rectangle the width of the surface and a little longer than her body. She loves it, as it reinforces how special she is lol. Hope this gives all y'all some ideas for yourselves and donation items. Rescue groups always appreciate comfort items for their shelter animals, so I am making some round mats, crocheted from strips of old sheets over dyed in soothing colors, to give to SPCA. You can find tutorials for that process here on YT, but I used 2" strips and a sz19/16mm hook. A bit tough to work, but the result is a tight weave that is durable, breathable, holds up to many washings, and my babies love the nubbly texture. These are easier to keep clean and sanitary than blankets, and work in indoor or outdoor kennels. So far have 3 finished, 15", 18" and 21". All 3 were made from 2 fitted and 1 flat Q size sheets, just to give a ballpark figure on quantities needed. Had 2 colors and mixed them so results are quite jolly and homely. I'm starting a large Dog one, and collected a bunch of pillow slips to augment the 2nd flat sheet, and think I can make it to 30". Happy crafting and thanks to all the folks who share patterns, tips, their time, and special thanks to those who help those in need 😊
I love this stitch, I’ve always had kitties most who have found me. So I know all about the cat hair included in everything, it’s a part of life around my house. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you so much, I have lots of ideas for this pattern.
Oh I am going to make my husband a scarf for his birthday, he is such a cat lover, he has 3 cats and including me will be 4 cats😹Thank you for sharing this lovely cat pattern with us🥰🧶🐾
my aunt gave me a box full of her fiance's mom's yarn, she used to crochet as well and they have around 12 cats in their place, i so plan to do a tiny blanket or something with all of their kitties! thank you for the video!
As a lefty I've always been challenged by crochet. I do all sorts of crafts, sewing and embroidery. I love this so much I am going to try it again. The worst that could happen is tears and begging a friend who crochets to make me something with this stitch 😂Thank you, it's amazing ❤❤❤😻😻😻
Thank you so much for this lovely idea. My effort uses black, tan and white, foundation row black, then a row of tan, black,tan,black, white in the center and then mirror image 4 more rows of cats. Finish with a row of black. Makes a beautiful wall hanging!!
Well, I have never seen this stitch before and I plan to use it for my friend who, like you, is a cat lover. I happen to have had dogs the last 20+ years, but I love cats as well.
I’m a dog lover too and only recently got my first cat a couple of years ago. I’m very grateful to my Sadie (border/saint Bernard mix) for letting me bring them in. Especially since they like to sleep on her 😆😅❤️
i started learning to crochet last week for a very specific need (covers for stuff for another hobby) and im glad this showed up in my recommended, time to buy new yarn and make a cat scarf
This is going to be a viral stitch it’s too cute!! You’re brilliant!! 🐱 🐈⬛ 🐈 🐾 P.S. The way you teach this is so intuitive, you anticipate how we learn and make it as clear as possible, giving alternative solutions and scenarios; you’re a natural teacher! Thank you ☺️ 🐱
This is so cute, I especially liked your sample done in actual cat colours, white brown and grey. I am definitely goi g to have to NV try this one. It would make a great pillow cover for our cat lover friends. 😊
Hi, I'm definitely going to be using the cat stitch for a dolly blanket for Christmas for my granddaughter, who will be 2 years old in January. Thankyou for your easy to follow tutorial, even though you are using USA terms I can see clearly what you mean in UK terms!
This is soooo cute! I’m thinking of black and gray because that’s the color of my cats. Already planning a blanket sweater and cardigan. I’m so excited!!
I love this stitch! I'm definitely going to use it on my next blanket! PS you crochet the same way I do (yo with middle finger). I love that! I never understood the winding around pinky people LOL Different strokes, for different folks, I guess.
I just found (and subscribed to) your channel. This is just an adorable stitch with so many possibilities and your instruction/demonstration couldn't be clearer. Thank you so much!
Love this!!!! Perfect timing as I was looking for my next project. Wondering if you’ve done a video on the basket weave stitch. I looked through your video library but didn’t spot one. I love the way you teach! I love your voice! 🩷
I did something similar in a sampler stitch video but not sure it’s the basket weave exactly . I will definitely add to the list. It’s such a beautiful one. 💕
I just finished a baby afghan, and I think I'm going to use your technique of finishing the raw edges with slip stitches before starting the "official" border. Self-reporting mistakes: Owing to crocheting when I was tired, I accidentally made five amputee cats. I missed two dctogs together in one place, and one dctog in the very next row on the other end. I figured I'd just crochet a large paw shaped appliqué to sew on the first, and a heart or something to sew over the second. It's either that, or everybody's getting prosthetics. I have plenty of those colors left over, and I think I can pull it off. This pattern has been a lot of fun, and I've already started a scarf using the same pattern. I just have the border to finish on the afghan.
Hi Friends, I hope you enjoy the video. I am really loving this stitch but I'm sure that's no surprise if you've seen any of my videos. I am a big cat lover and I appreciate that you don't fuss about the cat hair that usually appears in my videos. lol. Let me know if you've done this one before. It's a lot of fun! x
@@PlayHookywithMe Cats + crochet= cozy home😻😻😻🧶🧶🧶🛋️
Do you think you could show us how to modify this pattern to add stripes or spots to a cat? That would be so cute! ❤

I made a bag & a scarf, easy to do & if you love cats as I do you all will love it. Thank you for this pattern.
Wonderful! 😀💕
This is one of the cutest stitches I've ever seen! Excited to make something with this, thank you!
Great, so glad 😀👏🏻❤️😺
This is so pretty thank you so much! ❤🐱🐈⬛
I'm glad you like it , thank you !! ❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe Your Welcome! 🙂
Well, I have never seen this stitch before and I plan to use it for my friend who, like you, is a cat lover. I happen to have had dogs the last 20+ years, but I love cats as well.
I’m a dog lover too and only recently got my first cat a couple of years ago.
I’m very grateful to my Sadie (border/saint Bernard mix) for letting me bring them in. Especially since they like to sleep on her 😆😅❤️
This is perfect! Sharing!
Thanks for sharing!! 😽
Thank you! I just look at crochet but if anything could get me to actually start it'd be this. Absolutely adorable
Haha that’s wonderful, thank you 😀😽
i started learning to crochet last week for a very specific need (covers for stuff for another hobby) and im glad this showed up in my recommended, time to buy new yarn and make a cat scarf
Wonderful! Enjoy your crochet journey 😀🤗💕
Delightful!
I love this stitch almost the same as granny stitch. That was always main stitch for me, i liked using granny and doing c2c. Thank you for the video ❤
Wonderful! ❤️
This is going to be a viral stitch it’s too cute!! You’re brilliant!! 🐱 🐈⬛ 🐈 🐾
P.S. The way you teach this is so intuitive, you anticipate how we learn and make it as clear as possible, giving alternative solutions and scenarios; you’re a natural teacher! Thank you ☺️ 🐱
So kind, thank you for saying that. It means a lot to me 💕💕
I really like the black cats on a white background. Would be great for a sweater and maybe the cuffs of the sleeves.
Great idea 😻
Love the cats and the tutorial! I am an advanced beginner and need all the help I can get 😂 I cannot wait to give this a try!
I hope you enjoy it 😺💕
Lovely stitch, great for making gifts for cat lovers. Your cats have thumbs! EEK 🤣🤣
Hahahaha, a little bit of a creepy gif , I know. xx Thank you!
Pretty awesome kitty pattern, definitely gonna try it! 😺
And who doesn't love a bunch of furry little kittens(?)!!! 😹💖🙌😺
😹😹😹🫶🏻
I love the colour way and it is very striking.
Thank you ❤️
Ohhh my niece will love this
🤗😽❤️
I love this stitch. I think I will make a pillow in the colors of my cat Mona who is a calico (I love her so much). The baby kittens are so cute!
Great idea - the kittens’ momma was my inspiration for the colors I used too. She’s a calico 🥰
Very cute. I’ll try this but finish the ones I’m working on. You are right it is a simple pattern but really cute and innovative.💖
Thank you , Shara! Have fun with your current projects 💕
Love it darling thank you am trying right now ❤❤❤❤👍
Wonderful 😻🤗❤️
This is so cute, I especially liked your sample done in actual cat colours, white brown and grey. I am definitely goi g to have to NV try this one. It would make a great pillow cover for our cat lover friends. 😊
Great idea! 😺💕
Lol..I've got 3 white furboys and a tarbaby girl....so cat hair shows no matter what colour yarn I work! Love this pattern! Thanks.❤
😂😂🙌🏻🫶🏻
This is so cute! I'm going to use this stitch to make a little pocket holder for my phone to carry with me!
Excellent 😀🤩
LOVE IT, just returned from store with my yarn 🎉 going to be making this on the weekend. ❤ thank you.
Wonderful!❤️
Hi, I'm definitely going to be using the cat stitch for a dolly blanket for Christmas for my granddaughter, who will be 2 years old in January. Thankyou for your easy to follow tutorial, even though you are using USA terms I can see clearly what you mean in UK terms!
Hi MerryDrums , thank you so much ❤️❤️
So cute 😻
Thank you 😺💕
This is soooo cute! I’m thinking of black and gray because that’s the color of my cats. Already planning a blanket sweater and cardigan. I’m so excited!!
Perfect!!! 🥰
I love this stitch! I'm definitely going to use it on my next blanket! PS you crochet the same way I do (yo with middle finger). I love that! I never understood the winding around pinky people LOL Different strokes, for different folks, I guess.
😆🙌🏻💕
I had no idea this was so easy to do! Thank you for your clear instructions!🐈⬛🐈from a fellow cat lover!
🙌🏻🫶🏻😻
That is wonderfully mad! Love it! ❤️ 👍 👍 👍
I’m so glad you like it! 😻
It looks really easy after watching your tutorial. Thanks. 😊
Happy to hear that! 💓
Cute pattern ❤
Thank you 😻
I am going to have to try this! My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Catt!
Oh, how wonderful 😻🤗
At the end of the video, the yarn ends look like tails! Definitely going to work that into my project using this stitch. Thanks for reaching it!
Great idea!! 😻
Great tutorial!! I do some crocheting for charity, think I can make some cat people beanies....fun. Thanks for the clear tutorial.
Perfect ❤️
This looks so fun and cute 😍 Thanks 💋
Thank you , Jen ❤️
I just found (and subscribed to) your channel. This is just an adorable stitch with so many possibilities and your instruction/demonstration couldn't be clearer. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your support! 😻
Love this!!!! Perfect timing as I was looking for my next project. Wondering if you’ve done a video on the basket weave stitch. I looked through your video library but didn’t spot one. I love the way you teach! I love your voice! 🩷
I did something similar in a sampler stitch video but not sure it’s the basket weave exactly . I will definitely add to the list. It’s such a beautiful one. 💕
LOL I know SO many crazy cat ladies... now I have a ton of gift ideas for them using this stitch! What a fun pattern, thanks!
😆😆 great! 😺😻
I just finished a baby afghan, and I think I'm going to use your technique of finishing the raw edges with slip stitches before starting the "official" border. Self-reporting mistakes: Owing to crocheting when I was tired, I accidentally made five amputee cats. I missed two dctogs together in one place, and one dctog in the very next row on the other end. I figured I'd just crochet a large paw shaped appliqué to sew on the first, and a heart or something to sew over the second. It's either that, or everybody's getting prosthetics. I have plenty of those colors left over, and I think I can pull it off. This pattern has been a lot of fun, and I've already started a scarf using the same pattern. I just have the border to finish on the afghan.
😹😹😹❤️ I love your idea to help make it work 👏🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe Thanks for the confirmation, and thanks so much for teaching this pattern. It's an absolute delight!
