Hello Kitty Knit Baby throw, small childs afghan

Bring a gentle touch of cozy charm to your knitting with this Cute Cat Easy Blanket, designed to make your project both relaxing and rewarding. Perfect for beginners, this pattern pairs a garter stitch border with a smooth stockinette background, where a sweet cat silhouette emerges in soft, textured relief using only knit and purl stitches (and garter stitching too).

No colorwork, charts, or cables — just the peaceful rhythm of basic stitches creating a lovely, tactile motif that’s full of warmth and personality. It’s a soothing knit that lets texture tell the story, ideal for gifting or simply adding a handmade touch of comfort to your home.
