The Inspiration Behind the Blanket

Sometimes, the most heartfelt creations come from the smallest requests. The Callie's Kitty Baby Blanket was born out of one such moment. Our dear friends had a new baby boy, and I designed the Pip the Puppy Blanket just for him. But his big sister, Callie, couldn’t leave it alone! Her Gramma lovingly asked if I would make a special blanket just for Callie. When we asked Callie what she liked, her answer was simple: kittens and the color pink. And so, the search began for the perfect, cute, cartoon-like kitty design that would be just right for a curious toddler.

Joy in Every Stitch

The joy on Callie's face when she received her blanket was unforgettable. I even have cherished pictures of Callie and her daddy on Christmas morning, cuddled up with her new blanket—a memory that makes this project even more special.

A Simple and Customizable Knit

This pattern was an enjoyable and straightforward knit, following the chart without any challenges. The design is easy to customize, too! You can swap out the yarn or colors to fit any child’s favorite shades, making it as unique as the little one receiving it.
