A pretty throw blanket is just the right knitting project to keep you busy for several weekends!

The combination of patterns and colors makes this throw blanket absolutely on-trend.
Thanks to a photo tutorial explaining the cable stitches, even beginners can knit their own blanket using the 11-page pattern.
The size is adjustable; the example measures 150 x 140 cm.

Do you like cats? This one is something very special, because it is very simply designed and yet extremely decorative.

Its charm comes especially from its big green eyes, which seem to be watching you constantly. You can also use it as Halloween decoration, because it also feels right at home among witches, ghosts, bats, spiders, and pumpkins
.

It is crocheted using only single crochet stitches and slip stitches, so it is not difficult to crochet. You just have to count carefully. In the pattern you will find a graphic counting chart or, if you prefer, a table that describes everything row by row in detail.

You can definitely finish the cat in a weekend! All you need is 1–2 skeins of black cotton, 1 pair of cat eyes, stuffing, and a little yarn to embroider the nose and whiskers.
