Crochet terms used

The instructions in Hello Kitty-Inspired Crochet Blanket Pattern (Graphgan/C2C Style) use US terms: ch (chain), sl st (slip stitch), sc (single crochet), hdc (half double crochet), dc (double crochet), inc (two stitches in one), and dec (decrease). Counts in parentheses show the stitches expected after that row or round.

25 x 25 C2C graph plan

This chart is 25 blocks wide by 25 blocks high. Crochet a 5-by-5-block swatch, block it, and divide its width by 5 to find one block width. Multiply that result by 25 for the panel size. For example, a 1.5 cm blocked square produces a panel about 37.5 cm wide. Each chart cell below represents one complete C2C block.

C2C block construction

Use US terms. First block: Ch 6, dc in the fourth chain from the hook and in the next 2 chains. Increase rows 2-25: Ch 6 and turn; dc in the fourth chain and next 2 chains. Repeat (sl st into the ch-3 space of the next block, ch 3, 3 dc in the same space) across. Each row gains one block, ending with 25 blocks on row 25.

Decrease rows 26-49: Turn without chaining. Sl st across the first 3 dc and into its ch-3 space, ch 3, and work 3 dc in that space. Continue joining and making blocks across, but after joining the final block, do not make another block. Each row loses one block; row 49 contains one block. Change color on the final pull-through before the next block and use separate bobbins for disconnected color areas.

Plot the original cat-face motif

Number chart rows from bottom to top and columns from left to right. Keep every unlisted cell in the background color.

• White face: rows 7-19, columns 6-20; narrow rows 7 and 19 to columns 8-18.
• Left ear: rows 20-23 with column spans 7-10, 7-11, 8-11, and 9-10.
• Right ear: mirror those spans at columns 16-19.
• Eyes: black cells at row 14, columns 10-11 and 16-17.
• Nose: yellow cells at row 12, columns 13-14. Do not add a mouth.
• Bow: pink or red cells on rows 17-20, columns 17-22, with a two-cell center at columns 19-20.

After blocking, embroider three straight black whiskers on each side across two block widths. Work one sc border round with 3 sc in each corner, then a second round in the bow color. For a larger blanket, treat each chart cell as a 2-by-2 group, producing a 50-by-50-block blanket. This is an unofficial personal-use fan project.

Tips & troubleshooting

Count at the shaping points

Place markers before every increase, decrease, join, or attachment in this pattern. Confirm each checkpoint stated in Hello Kitty-Inspired Crochet Blanket Pattern (Graphgan/C2C Style) before moving forward because finishing cannot correct missing structural stitches.

Compare shape as well as count

Lay the work flat without stretching and compare paired pieces from the same viewing angle. Match the silhouette and measurements described in Hello Kitty-Inspired Crochet Blanket Pattern (Graphgan/C2C Style), rechecking a washed swatch before seaming fitted work.

Reinforce structural joins

Necks, handles, hanging points, hardware tabs, and baby-item attachments need more than one yarn pass. Reinforce every load-bearing join identified in Hello Kitty-Inspired Crochet Blanket Pattern (Graphgan/C2C Style), weave tails in two directions, and inspect the finished piece before use.
