Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 2 – Intarsia Cat

UPDATE: This Knit-Along is now finished. Click here to get all the patterns for this blanket for free.

I hope you enjoyed my last knit-along baby blanket block, which was a stocking stitch heart. If you haven’t seen it yet, jump over to that post. In that post/video, I went over in more detail about the blanket generally, yarn, needles, and the techniques that will be used.

This week we’re doing another stocking stitch intarsia pattern; this cat.

I had been hoping to post this pattern last week but unfortunately a heap of late pregnancy symptoms and post-vaccination weakness decided to all pile into a bulldozer and run me over for about five days. I’m feeling waaaay better now though so I’m back to blogging!

As you can see in my little graphic of the blanket, this is the other picture square for the top row of rectangles.

Like the heart square, we’ll be using the Value Ball Gradients brand yarn in the darkest and lightest shades, which I’ve called colour 1 and colour 5. You’ll be using 4mm needles and your tension is 19sts by 26 rows to 10cm ² in stocking stitch.

Thanks so much for reading and following along with this project! I’ll be trying to post videos and patterns for this knit-along project every week, pregnancy symptoms permitting.
