CATGHAN CAL – WEEK #9 – Flies

With summer in full swing, I’m sure we’re all rather annoyedly thinking about Flies and other creepy crawlies who like the warmth this season brings. 😛

This is a tortoiseshell kitty cat, who looks ready to play and bat at those flies! We’ve had a torty and they are fun and feisty. Happy crocheting!

If you haven’t already posted a picture on social media, the official hashtag for this CAL is: #CatghanCAL2019

If you are just starting to work on your squares for the CATGHAN CAL, I suggest starting with Week One’s PEEKAMEW square and work alongside me in the YouTube Video for that week. Week Two’s Mouse Watching square also has a video as well. Once you work your way through those two, I have no doubt you’ll be ready to work on the more difficult squares (in regards to color changing only, the stitches are the same).

** I have new videos up on my YouTube channel that explain: How to tie in loose ends and create the single crochet border around each square. **

This pattern was lovingly tested by the wonderful crocheters over on the Facebook Group: CAL – Crochet A Long. Stop by, join the group, and crochet with us!

While this Catghan CAL posts will always be here for free on my blog, for convenience, I’ve also created one giant PDF file for those who would like to purchase a copy of all the files together in one place. No searching through posts necessary. Plus, it’s over there now, should you want to work ahead of the group rather than wait for each week’s new square. You can purchase this pattern for a small fee here on Ravelry or now over in my Etsy Shop.
