Animal Filet Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern

by // // No Comments

Well it’s another Friday the 13th and I choose to believe it’s good luck, not bad. I did a little research and found out black cats are actually thought to be good luck in some countries. If that’s true, and I think it is, I have plenty of good luck around the house.

Black Kitties on the Porch
This is two of them on the porch. One checking out what I’m doing and his brother lounging.

I had a grey momma cat give birth to four boy kittens in our barn almost a year ago. All are a combination of black and white. At first, they wouldn’t let us near, but now it’s a different story. They’re still outside cats, but when it gets cold or rainy, they are more than happy to be inside. All are fixed, that was fun, catching them and taking them to the vet, but it’s important. The county shelter is full enough already.

That brings me to today’s freebie pattern. An animal filet crochet baby blanket for the crib made up of animal blocks, one of them being a cat.
