This crochet cat granny square is a part of my Halloween Blanket Crochet Along. Click here to see the other squares.
For Week #8 of the CAL we will be making 4 gray squares, 4 black squares, and 4 cat appliques that will be sewn onto the gray squares.
This will be the last of the granny squares!! We are in the home stretch. Next week, we will be working on joining our squares and making a border for the blanket! Yay!
