How to Crochet a Cat Mat. Crochet in the C2C technique.

I looked at a small wooden house for my cat. And I decided to make a small mat for this house. And during the process of crocheting this mat, I will share moments that will be useful for those who want to crochet the same mat.

You can add this picture with a crocheted cat mat to the board in Pinterest so as not to lose the interesting idea of crocheting an advent calendar bag.


To crochet a mat, you will need 2 square canvases, which in the future will need to be folded together and connected along the edge. For this reason, both canvases should be the same size. Since I will use different yarns from my stocks, the thickness will need to be selected approximately the same so that the finished fabrics are the same.

The thickness of the yarn was selected so that the size of 1 cell of the crocheting pattern corresponded to 1 cm. This is the most convenient way to navigate by size. I did the scheme myself. The size of the scheme turned out to be 35* 35 cells, since the mat needs a size of 35 * 35 cm or in inches 14 * 14.

I provide a pixel chart below, but if you need help figuring out how to crochet in C2C technique (corner to corner), please refer to my publications "How to Crochet Corner to Corner (C2C)" and "How to Decrease in C2C Crochet", which has a photo instructions.

Materials and tools:

- Crochet hook, size 2,5 mm.

- Yarn (colors: orange, gray, red, black,yellow, pink) (160-180 m/50 g).

C2C patterns:

Size: 35*35 blocks.

The second part of the mat.

There is no need for a written description for this part of the mat. When crocheting this square fabric, the color of the thread needs to be changed every 3 rows.


A ready-made cat mat, crocheted in the C2C technique.

And now the mat is ready. On the sides, I connected both parts side by side from the alternation of 1 sc and ch 2. I usually tie such a row as a base for different bindings of the canvas, connected in the technique C2C. In this case, it is a way of connecting two canvases together and the columns must be tied into two canvases at once in the same place on the side of the square.


My "client" approved the finished work and was terribly unhappy with the fact that for some reason it was necessary to leave the mat so that for some reason someone would take pictures of it.
