[Image ID] A square crocheted blanket featuring Bagpuss – the pink and white striped cloth cat from the children’s programme of the same name. The Bagpuss design in the centre of the blanket is on a cream background with thin pink and cream stripes around the outside to form a border.[Description end]

A crocheted blanket following a pattern from Crochet Now Magazine issue 60. I adapted the pattern as Bagpuss was only crocheted in black and cream. I felt he looked incomplete without his characteristic pink stripes so, although it made the project more difficult, I decided to add the third colour. The border I chose is also different, and much thinner, than what was used in the pattern. The finished blanket measures 70cm square.
