If you love cats, a cat crochet blanket is the perfect project: cozy, personal and guaranteed to be claimed by your actual cat. Overlay mosaic crochet is especially good at cat silhouettes, with pointed ears, curled tails and glowing moons all coming out sharp in two colors. Here are our cat blanket patterns, from celestial to playful.
Quick Answer
For a celestial, magical look, choose the Moonlight Cat pattern or the Moon Cat pattern. For a classic black cat, choose the Cute Black Cat pattern. Want several designs? The Cat Blanket Patterns Bundle groups cat designs together. All are digital PDF patterns.

Why Mosaic Crochet Suits Cat Designs
Cat shapes rely on clean outlines: ears, whiskers, tails. Mosaic crochet builds the design square by square, so those lines stay crisp. If you are wondering how it compares with other color techniques, read mosaic crochet vs regular crochet.
