CATGHAN CAL – Week #21 – Astrocat!

I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of this Catghan Crochet Along! We’ll have one more post about how to attach your squares and do your borders next week, but then your blankets will be done! Time sure does fly, doesn’t it?

This square is the size of four squares put together, with lots of color changes, and a fair few ends to tie in, but look at what you get in the end for all your hard work… Astrocat!

Even though I designed this blanket for my daughter who LOVES cats, I designed this center square with my son in mind who LOVES space. This square combines both their loves into one and was a blast to put together.

I hope you have enjoyed working through this Catghan with me and are looking forward to the Dogghan which is currently being tested, and YouTube videos are being filmed. If you have, and would like more C2C Graphgans to be released every year along with free amigurumi patterns and more, please consider becoming my patron on Ink & Stitches Patreon.

For as little as $3 per month, you will have access to a patron-only feed where I will keep you up with everything I’m working on and my plans for creating a How-to-Crochet Amigurumi book of patterns. As you work your way up the tiers you will get even more: Cup of Tea with Julianne VLOGs where I answer your crochet questions, %’s off in my Etsy and Ravelry shops, graphgan squares designed based on your pets, amigurumi made by me and shipped to you, personal thank-you cards sent in the mail for your support, patron-only giveaways, and even one-on-one Google Video chats! Join me on Patreon! You won’t want to miss what’s coming next 🙂

Happy crocheting!
