Herding Cats Blanket

If you're looking for the perfect gift for the cat lover in your life, look no further than the adorable Herding Cats Blanket knitting pattern! This charming blanket is not only functional but also a delightful representation of the whimsical world of cat ownership. Any cat owner knows that trying to herd cats is an exercise in futility — and our double-knit blanket captures this sentiment beautifully. With cute, playful cats adorning both sides, this warm, reversible blanket is sure to add a cozy touch to any home.

This unique pattern is crafted using a double knitting technique, which allows for a fully reversible design, showcasing contrasting color schemes on each side. The included comprehensive instructions make the double knitting process accessible, even for those who may be new to it. Whether you're making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Herding Cats Blanket is sure to be a treasured piece.

The pattern features two convenient sizes to choose from: a baby blanket and a cozy throw blanket. The finished dimensions of the baby blanket are approximately 37” x 40” (94 cm x 101.6 cm), making it perfect for little ones or as a decorative accent. The larger throw blanket measures about 51” x 55” (129.5 cm x 139.7 cm), providing ample warmth and comfort for lounging. Plus, feel free to get creative and expand the size by adding more repeats of the charts for an even larger version! The stunning photos included in this pattern highlight the beautiful throw blanket size.
