We love animals at our home, especially our dogs and cat, but this blanket was inspired by my sister, who’s completely obsessed with her cat. I gifted her the blanket, and let’s just say her cat has claimed it as his official nap spot. Proof that pets love crochet as much as we do!
And if you’re looking for an adorable sweater for your furry friend, the Wheat Stitch Dog Sweater is waiting for you!
What’s Included in the Pattern
This pattern isn’t just a blanket—it also includes instructions for two matching pillows:
- ? “Meow” Pillow for cat lovers
- ? “Woof” Pillow for dog lovers
That way, nothing goes to waste! I designed the pillows to help use up leftover yarn from the blanket, and now they’re one of my favorite details of the whole project. like the idea of having a lot of leftover yarn. So I whipped up the Meow and Woof matching pillows.
Construction Details
The You, Me & The Cats (Dogs) Blanket is worked flat in rows using simple stitches and colorwork techniques to create the fun pet-inspired designs. You’ll find three different ways to follow the pattern, so you can choose the method that works best for you:
- Written Instructions – perfect if you like step-by-step directions.

- Color Block Instructions – great for organizing your yarn and simplifying the process.
With these flexible options, this project is beginner-friendly for those new to colorwork, but engaging enough for seasoned crocheters who want to whip up something both practical and playful.

Notes:
- Please note that matching gauges, both horizontal and vertical, can be difficult. Extra rows can be added at the top if needed, so it is more important to match the stitch gauge versus the row gauge. This pattern also has some ease to fit over a pillow.
- The pillow pattern is worked from the bottom up in rows and in two pieces. The front panel will also work as a buttonhole flap to secure the top of the crochet pillow. The front and the back panels will be slip-stitched together once completed.
- After the end of each row, turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
- The right side of the rows is read from right to left. Wrong side rows are read from left to right.
- To change color, work the last yarn over of the single crochet in the color of the next stitch.
- Since there is a wrong side and a right side to the pillow panels, I used a combination of intarsia and carrying yarn across the back for the colorwork. Experiment and see what works best for you.
- A burlap back can be used as a substitute for a crochet pillow back.

Burlap Pillow Back:
Fold the burlap fabric in half to 24×24 inch dimensions. Place the crochet pillow piece on top of the fabric with RS facing in, lining up the folded edge of the burlap with Row 40.
Using a tapestry needle and yarn, hand sew the two pieces together around the sides and bottom of the pillow, leaving the top open. Flip RS out and sew buttons to the burlap fabric spaced at the buttonholes.
Finishing:
Weave in ends and block if needed.
Attaching Panels Together:
Place the front and back panels together with the wrong sides facing. If using burlap cut two pieces approximately one in longer on each side of the pillow.
Your crochet hook will be able to work through the holes in the burlap. Using white yarn, slip stitch from the top of one side of the pillow (where the panels meet, not over the flap), around the bottom, and up the other side.
I found by slip stitching with a tight tension really makes some crisp edges, but you do not want it to pucker. Fasten off and weave in ends. Flip pillow so the right side is facing out and the seams are on the inside.
Attaching Buttons:
With the back panel facing, fold the front panel down over the top of the back panel, and with stitch markers mark the row where each button will be placed. Using a yarn needle and green yarn, sew each button in place.
