Thank you Donna for your videos, I haven't crocheted in 50 yrs and during this pandemic, I picked it up again for some calming to do. I am currently making samples and instructions for a book to pass down to my granddaughter since the newer generation doesn't know how to do crochet. THANK YOU AGAIN.
That's an awesome thing to do! Have you been on tik tok and looked up crochet? You don't see many people over 40 making some beautiful items! I'm in my 20s and have been crocheting for over 10 years. It's making a come back that's for sure :)
I am teaching the younger generation how to crochet! I'm in my late 30s and have been crocheting since I was a child. I learned how to crochet from my mother who just passed last month. Crochet still lives! I won't let it die! There are so many young people who still Crochet amd want to Crochet. It is making a beautiful come back!
My mom tried to teach me but, she didn't make it fun. So I stuck to sketching. But as an adult I oucked it back up. Can't remember when I started. Maybe 10-12 yrs ago. Wish my mom was here to see all I've done. I even do doilies an 3D rugs. So, so fun! Turns out, I'm a natural as was my mom! 🥰 side note... When I mess up, I can hear her tell me very firmly..."Count your stitches"! 🙄🤭
I clicked on this video knowing it is above my skill level but was interested in the short length. I watched the entire video, it is clear and concise with great visuals and I love the pattern text on the screen. Best crochet instruction channel!!
I love this pattern and more than that I absolutely love how you do videos - you don't ramble on and on and have us watch you counting, or doing an entire row. You simply tell us what to do and know we have the intelligence to carry on with the row. THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!! Some videos are so long and it's all irrelevant .. you cut to the chase and make it SO EASY!!!!
I have seen this stitch so many times. I wanted to learn how to do it. My dil LOVES cats. I am making a blanket, sweater, hat, and booties for my grandbaby coming in Feb. Then I plan on making her a sweater for her birthday. It is so much easier to do than I thought it would be. Thank you so much for this video.
I absolutely love cats and I’ve been wanting to make an afghan for myself but wasn’t sure what kind of pattern I wanted. This is purrfect, so thank you very much for sharing, I have my new project! I’m struggling a lot with anxiety and depression and this made me so happy, I can’t tell you how much it really means to me. So little actually gives me joy these days, but this really did. ❤️
Have made two afghans with this pattern & making a third for a new girl in our family. I begin with the chain & add a row of single crochet which gives the edge more body & also defines the bottom of the afghan. Love the pattern!
Thank you!!!!! I have three special needs rescue kitties and three grand kits. Your video is so easy to follow. Thank you for a straight to the point teaching style. Also, bonus points for the nail polish matching the first yarn. I appreciate this video so much. You have a new subscriber.
Yeah, I finally found the pattern of the Cat Afghan. I made an Afghan like this for my daughter in 1995 and she moved around and lost the Afghan. She wanted another one but I've moved around too, and lost my patterns. I'm so happy I found another one. I've looked everywhere!!
Ohhh my son and daughter in law love cats and will really enjoy a blanket made with this stitch! I can't believe how super easy it is. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Nice video! Good camera work making it easy to see and follow the narrative. Work doesn't disappear off screen or wander about during the demonstration. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. No fluff talking about unrelated topics, just the stitch instruction. Really well done in my opinion. Thank you!±
Ty so much … your instructions are so impeccably clear and the visual camera view is outstanding… I love this stitch but seemed … til now… difficult to understand.. again ty ty ty Donna .. you are the best… &&&& those nails!!!!! Just Gorgeous!!!!!
I'm all people-d out today (my way of saying my social battery is drained), and this is the perfect stitch to just sit and crochet rows upon rows of while I watch Netflix 🥰
My bestie is a cat lady big time. I cannot wait to make this for her! She especially loves black cat so I know what color the cats will be. Omg this is exciting!
I absolutely LOVE this pattern. I’m using scrap yarns and changing colors every 3 rows as instructed but I’ve got 14 colors so far. It’s super cute. Tyvm ❤
I purchased a written pattern for a similar design that when I first read it seemed clear and concise. But while actually following the pattern, it didn't come out to the right number of stitches at the end. I started it over a few times, and then came to YT to try and find a video so I could see what I was doing wrong. So glad I found this video. Different from the original pattern I bought, much easier to follow, and I didn't have to pay for it LOL. Thank you!
Love this so much and had trouble following a pattern I found that wasn't clear at all. You make it so clear! Thank you so much. This would make a good scarf pattern too! You're the best!
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been looking for a good pattern to make a cat stitch sweater for awhile. Your video is the best one I have seen. I am almost finished with my sweater.
Hi Donna! Thank you for your patient and calm explanation of this pattern. I have a question- what would be a good border for this? I don’t want to take away from the visual effect. I’m not sure what would look good. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks again!!
Love your work. I seldom take instructions from other crochet RUclipsrs because you’re great at explaining and your videos are so well edited to be brief. Easy to follow and keep up. Your voice is also calming and you give awesome additional suggestions (like for example you said you like to end on row 3 to help define the cat stitch).Thank you for providing your videos you have made learning new stitches a breeze!
Just when I was searching for something of this kind to make a pullover I got a pop up about you uploading this video.. I can't tell you how grateful I am right now.. Thank you tons dear 🙏 ❤❤
I just got a suggestion on my shorts forca different stitch and found this as well. I love this! And I think it woukd be fun to do it in my cats colors. Thank you!!!!
Hello from Canada! I made a scarf from this pattern for a friend for Christmas ( yes she loves cats ) but I lost where I got the pattern from. After a lot of searching I found you again and wrote down the pattern again. Now the bad news, I am in the dog house because my other cat crazy friends saw the scarf and now want their own scarves and afghans,,,the good news, I do not have to think of what to get them all for Christmas and it is early enough that I have time to do them all. Maybe in the next couple of years I can do one for myself. Thank you very much for this video, it is easy to follow as well as easy on the ears, very well done!!!!!!!!!
This is such a great stitch! I'm doing just one cat head row in my temperature blanket to represent us visiting the Dr. Seuss Museum. I'm having trouble with the third row, by the time I got to the end it was as though I added several stitches. It is like the extended double crochet is adding a stitch. In my case I have 249 stitches, with one of those factored in it is adding 50 stitches to my row. What am I doing wrong?
I love, love, love this pattern!! So easy...and I may have to make a halloween cat hat somehow using this stitch!! Thanks so much for designing and then sharing for us to enjoy!!
Thank you Donna I always find your videos easy to follow and your patterns are very pretty this is a beautiful one I have 2 kitties who love blankets 🤗Amanda xx💕
So happy I found your channel! I'll be making an inordinate amount of baby blankets soon and while I've got stitch and pattern books I was looking for something new and this channel does the trick!!
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who uses knife grip to crochet. I feel like pencil grip is so pervasive among crochet videos and I just can't do it. (I can but it's not comfortable for me lol.)
This is an awesome stitch. I just recently made this same afghan. I found this on a different channel however. I think your instructions were very clear. My sister loves cats even more than I do, so I made this for her. She absolutely loves it. TFS
Hi. For row 4 at the end do you skip over the extended cluster stitch from row three to do the two double at the end? I was confused because after the last shell I was left with 3 stitches. That’s a cute stitch and I’m using it as part of a cardigan. Thanks you
Hi, Naztazia! 😸 How cute! The colors are pleasing to the eye. Thank you for sharing this pattern, I've been wanting to learn it. Always appreciate your work 🌷👍

Great video ! Got to try this stitch ! Thanks ! Xox 💚
Too Adorable!!!
Thank you for your video will try this in the future 😀 👍 😊 😄 🙂 ☺
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who uses knife grip to crochet. I feel like pencil grip is so pervasive among crochet videos and I just can't do it. (I can but it's not comfortable for me lol.)
For me, the knife grip is more ergonomic for my wrists. I can crochet faster and for many hours at a time with that method.
Thank you l love the cat stitch nat
This is an awesome stitch. I just recently made this same afghan. I found this on a different channel however. I think your instructions were very clear. My sister loves cats even more than I do, so I made this for her. She absolutely loves it. TFS
This is like an alien language 👽
Huge respect to you and your craft, I will stick to cross stitch lol 😂
Looks amazing. I'm going to try this stitch
