Frequently asked questions
What crochet technique does this placemat use?
It's worked in tapestry crochet, using single crochet throughout while changing colors according to the pixel grid chart. You carry the unused color along inside the stitches so the back stays neat and the cat design appears on the front.
What yarn is recommended?
The finished sample uses combed cotton yarn, which gives the placemat a smooth, sturdy surface that lies flat on a table and shows the pixel design clearly.
Are other cat designs available?
Yes. The original designer offers 6 different cat face color variations plus a bow pixel chart, so you can crochet a coordinating set using the same tapestry technique on different grids.
