Cool Cats
Cool Cats includes 14 crochet projects on a cat theme. Each crochet cat pattern includes an introduction to the real life kitty the project was created after.
All patterns included in Cool Cats are rated as a BEGINNER skill level.
I believe some of the patterns might be on the challenging side for new crocheters (Beginners) because there is colorwork (mid-row) and shaping used in several of the amigurumi designs. Assembly is also required for some of the projects, including the Blanket.
The General Instructions section of the eBook, begins on page 60. Explanations and diagrams (where needed) are provided for the following stitches and techniques:

My favorite kitties are Snuggles, Pouncer and Peaches in Cool Cats.
Love all the cat projects in this book. It would be hard to decide which to make first.
I would love to make the grey kitty, but I would make in black for my two black kitties. I also love the rug.
I am a cat fan! Looks like a cute book.
So cute!! I’ve made my son a couple of cats, but I think he’d like a few more. Some day I may get another cat myself.
Baby Blankets – 8 Crocheted Baby Blankets would be awesome for a review from you
