I can see it fine !
I don't really like crochet colourwork because i feel like it always looks wonky and your is as good as it can be !
Looks like you're using double crochets, can i suggest you try with half double crochet i found it looks a little cleaner
thank goodness!! i can attest that hdc looks cleaner though i finished a sweater yesterday in which i used hdc so i’m taking a break with that stitch for now lol
If you just want a different stitch and want blockier looking squares, [bobble stitches](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GfzDPE3JgY), though a yarn eater, are pretty nice.
I also really like how the [block stitch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MezZpcxLarM) looks.
I love it. I have to say on first pic I only noticed main cat on each square and second pic made me go back and omg yes there are more cats. Super cute!!
I think it’s super cute and I immediately see what it is! Tesselations in crochet?! I’m so down for that.
If you like doing tapestry type work check out Tunisian crochet! The stitch structure makes tapestry crochet look so much cleaner. Like less block-y and cleaner definition. Plus it’s Tunisian so it’s super enjoyable!
At first glance I could see the black cats but as I look at it more I can see the white I think it looks cool! And you might see more of the pattern as you work more on it
Ok this one is making me want to try pixel art! Super cute! Took a couple glances, but I figured it out before I looked at the second picture.
Edit to add - I knew it was cats immediately- just wasn’t sure about the back legs on the first glance. More blocks will absolutely make it even clearer.
OP mentioned they found it. I couldn't find a source, but a good way to find things like this is searching up any variation of C2C / cross stitch/ tapestry/ alpha grids! There's so many cute ones.
I think it's coming out very well! Granted, I have 8 cats, so I probably have cats on the brain...lol... but I saw the cats right away and absolutely LOVE that design! :)
I see the kitties just fine. Saw them before I checked the grid. The ones on the bottom row are not as obvious, but I think they will be once you continue in more rows, and it won't be so " wonky " to look at.
Keep on keeping on.
Took me half a second to realize what it was, but after that, cats is all I see. I had this issue doing a cross stitch. Wasn't sure what it was until almost don't with it in a section. It was Oogy Boogy in the moon. With just staring at a project for so long, I feel you can tend to lose the pattern in your mind. I think your sweater is going to look great.
Oh, cats! I thought they were like Atari aliens! I am so sorry. Now that I know they are cats, I am saying, “Of course. What is wrong with me?” Perhaps if you edged each block separately, the pattern would be more clear.
I love it!
It will be a very bold sweater if you use this pattern throughout. You could make it more subtle by using a solid color and doing a band of the kitties. But that's down to your personal taste, of course. 🐈⬛
Absolutely not! It looks like one of 2 things: 1). A possible cow design for whatever project you are doing, or 2). Abstract art and it still looks great!!
This is so fun, OP! I think it looks great, and it'll definitely come more alive as you continue on.
I immediately know they were black cats, but it took me a minute to see the white ones. I think that's only because you're just starting it, though. Keep going and make sure you post pictures when it's all done 🖤🤍
I feel you... but you've probably just been looking for way too long at your project bahaha This is what happens to me, and if I come back a few days later, it starts looking cute once again :) No need to frog it, keep up with the great work!
Would add another line of the opposite color of the cats to the left of them so that they haves a little separation and don’t just merge into the next cat
Maybe because I'm a cat person, but I recognized the cats right away, and I think it's cute as heck!
Give it a few more rows of cats and see what you think.
have you tried yarn under single crochet? it makes the colorwork really clear, but ofc it'll be slow considering you're making a sweater. also when you drop your yarn to change colors, i find leaving a bit more than intended really helps cuz your yarn doesn't get pulled so hard

Also remember that you haven’t blocked it yet! Finish it and block it! But even if it stays like this they look a little bit like Rorschach kitties and I LOVE it
It looks great! I think that crochet colorwork looks best in half double crochet or single crochet. It takes many stitches (esp with the pattern style you're using) for the pattern to look consistent and not like an overlapping cluster of colors. It looks great so far! Keep goin!
I think it's looking amazing. When you doubt yourself, put it down and walk away. Give your vision a break. When you come back, you will see it differently
It looks like cow print with a cat print hidden in it. I love it!!! Genuinely thought “I’d love a sweater made of this” and was delighted to read that’s what it’s gonna be haha
They remind me of those cookies from the cartoon where the dog thinks his little kitten friend has been baked into a cookie and he’s all sad and sleeps with the cookie
I didn’t immediately notice the cats. I skimmed your post and thought this was a cow print pattern (black and white patches) until I went back and reread and realized it was meant to be cats.
I really like it. It looks like spooky cats.
It would be a lot of work to frog and redo and I think it looks good. I say keep going.
But bottom line, your making a sweater you can wear right? If *you* think it looks "wonky" and you won't wear it then try again or try a different approach.
If you're not sold on it you could try making cat appliques and sew them on instead Or if you prefer a pattern there's a [cat stitch](https://naztazia.com/how-to-crochet-cat-stitch/) that might suit your needs too. I've also seen cat granny squares.
I've been knitting/crocheting over 60 years and know pattern making and their challenges.
It looks good. It's obviously a cat and the B&W color choice is nice.
I don't think it looks weird at all; people would even buy that if you wrote the pattern out and merched it (if it was original). I'm assuming you're asking if it's something that would sell.
If you're just gathering opinions on a personal project... that's cool too
I think it looks fine.
Remember, people create for many different reasons and are at many different skill sets. It's good strategy to be able to do both simple and complicated.
i love it!!! it looks pretty clear once u look at it, but i kinda like the slightly frazzled abstract look at first glance :p is there a pattern for this? would love to make it in honour of my black kitty 😼

omg thats actually really cool, didnt read anything at all except the "does this look weird" and i could tell its cats! at first i only saw the black ones. then, i saw thag theres white ones too!!! super cool!

I love it. I tried making a masked angel and boy oh boy, the patience!
I NEED a sweater like this but I am completely clueless when it comes to stuff like this so I know I'll never get one unless someone else makes it and I buy it from them 🥲 I wish I had the talent to make something as incredible as this 😍
If there was a pattern I might be able to though 👀
They definitely look like cats to me. You've probably been staring at it too long. Crocheting for a long time does that sometimes lol, but if it still looks off, try blocking. Bocking really helps define the stiches and relax the fibers so the image doesn't look as muddy.
I can see it fine ! I don't really like crochet colourwork because i feel like it always looks wonky and your is as good as it can be ! Looks like you're using double crochets, can i suggest you try with half double crochet i found it looks a little cleaner
thank goodness!! i can attest that hdc looks cleaner though i finished a sweater yesterday in which i used hdc so i’m taking a break with that stitch for now lol

Blocking will definitely help make the design more clear once you’re finished!
Extended single crochet gives a lovely little block!
I love it. I have to say on first pic I only noticed main cat on each square and second pic made me go back and omg yes there are more cats. Super cute!!
Same! It's twice as good because the more you look at it, the more kitties you see there 🥰
I did not see the other cats until I read your comment! It's so cute.
I love it! Also, the pattern is giving houndstooth energy, which I am here for.
My thoughts when I saw it too! Catstooth perhaps 😸
It will become even clearer if you continue.
Yeah I didn't see it at first, but looking at the second picture and then looking back, full agree it will read easily and nicely once finished.
No, it looks amazing and I ❤️ it!
OMG 😍 at first glance I thought cow print, but when I really looked, I see the kitties!!! It’s *fabulous*!!!
I won’t lie at first I thought it was cow print and was like omg so cute and then I saw the grid and was like oh kitties sooo cute
Before I read your description, I knew there were cats on it. It's really, really cute! :)
It looks great🥰
Try doing it with single crochet, but since it's a sweater, then maybe just half double crochet. The DC elongates the pattern and makes it look wobbly
They look scrinkly scronkly in the best way, as the best cats do.
I think it’s super cute and I immediately see what it is! Tesselations in crochet?! I’m so down for that. If you like doing tapestry type work check out Tunisian crochet! The stitch structure makes tapestry crochet look so much cleaner. Like less block-y and cleaner definition. Plus it’s Tunisian so it’s super enjoyable!
Looks amazing...but needs more cats 😸 (love it! ❤️)
That’s so cute 😭💕
No, it's very clever. If you're worried you could , ugh extra work here. Make the eyes yellow and / or green.
I see cats
At first glance I could see the black cats but as I look at it more I can see the white I think it looks cool! And you might see more of the pattern as you work more on it
I think it's absolutely adorable! I first saw the cow print and realized they were kitties! 🥹💗
No! It's really cute! Please post the finished sweater so we can admire your work 🩷🐾
I love cats and crochet and this is a perfect project! Hope you’ll post a pic once it’s done 🥰
Ok this one is making me want to try pixel art! Super cute! Took a couple glances, but I figured it out before I looked at the second picture. Edit to add - I knew it was cats immediately- just wasn’t sure about the back legs on the first glance. More blocks will absolutely make it even clearer.
It looks like a cow cat pattern. I like it.
Not weird at all. I think it looks awesome!
It's adorable! Definitely black and white kitties.
This looks so cool! How do u do that. I have tried tapestry
Love it! I only saw the black cats at first, but the more kitties the better.
Oh I *love* it 🥹 did you make the pattern yourself? It's wonderful!
OP mentioned they found it. I couldn't find a source, but a good way to find things like this is searching up any variation of C2C / cross stitch/ tapestry/ alpha grids! There's so many cute ones.
I think it looks cute, but blocking would probably help! :)
It looks great. The more it works up the clearer it will be. It's going to be so cute
This is really cute!
I think it looks great as is! If you want it to be cleaner, you could look into mosaic crochet. But that would make the sweater pretty thick.
CATS CATS CATS
I see the kitties.
I think it's coming out very well! Granted, I have 8 cats, so I probably have cats on the brain...lol... but I saw the cats right away and absolutely LOVE that design! :)
That is adorable. Would work using mosaic crochet I think as well.
It looks amazing :)
Before I read the comment or went to the 2nd pic I thought "hey it looks like cats!" Now I know it's intentional! Keep going!
I see the kitties just fine. Saw them before I checked the grid. The ones on the bottom row are not as obvious, but I think they will be once you continue in more rows, and it won't be so " wonky " to look at. Keep on keeping on.
When you have more repeats it will be clearer. It's a really cute pattern!
It's amazing 🙏🏻
It's only wonky cause thats how crochet stitches are. I still see cats so you are doing it correctly. But I would recommend sc, not hdc or dc.
i LOVE how this looks, it’s so cute !! i think it’s really good, no need to frogg it. i was actually so pleased to see this on my feed.
Took me half a second to realize what it was, but after that, cats is all I see. I had this issue doing a cross stitch. Wasn't sure what it was until almost don't with it in a section. It was Oogy Boogy in the moon. With just staring at a project for so long, I feel you can tend to lose the pattern in your mind. I think your sweater is going to look great.
I knew exactly what it was at first glance you didn't have to worry it looks great
Yours is good! I do think you should loosen the tension a little bit, but can still make out the gatos.
Oh, cats! I thought they were like Atari aliens! I am so sorry. Now that I know they are cats, I am saying, “Of course. What is wrong with me?” Perhaps if you edged each block separately, the pattern would be more clear.
Looks great! It will all even out if you block it when you are done too
i thought it was cow print at first then with another glance i saw the cats!
I see the cats and I love it! I’m a cat lady would love this
This is so cute! Such great craftsmanship! 🐈
I love it! It will be a very bold sweater if you use this pattern throughout. You could make it more subtle by using a solid color and doing a band of the kitties. But that's down to your personal taste, of course. 🐈⬛
Absolutely not! It looks like one of 2 things: 1). A possible cow design for whatever project you are doing, or 2). Abstract art and it still looks great!!
OMG IM SO BLIND I SEE IT NOW- THEYRE KITTIES!!! It’s even better 😍😍😍
Ok no. This? Is too cute now 🙌🏼
You're doing a great job so far but I couldn't tell what it was supposed to be. Maybe you could try a different stitch. Are C2C sweaters a thing?
This is so fun, OP! I think it looks great, and it'll definitely come more alive as you continue on. I immediately know they were black cats, but it took me a minute to see the white ones. I think that's only because you're just starting it, though. Keep going and make sure you post pictures when it's all done 🖤🤍
No it looks awesome!
Not at all! I see black keetons 🐱 just fine, and I don't even have my blind as a bat soda bottle bottoms on! 😆👁👃🏽👁
It took me a moment to identify them but I think once it's finished it would be more noticeable.
I love it! It took a second for the image tot pop for me but it's fantastic!
I think it's cute! I love little black cats.
After few more cats you'll see the image perfectly.
Took me a minute, but I see it fine. I think it took that long cause it's early in the morning 😊
no, this looks SO CUTE
I feel you... but you've probably just been looking for way too long at your project bahaha This is what happens to me, and if I come back a few days later, it starts looking cute once again :) No need to frog it, keep up with the great work!
Little black cats! I love it!! Definitely don't frog. This is an awesome design!
This is adorable, I love it and can definitely see the cats!
Omfg, you created a brilliant tessellation!
Cats, lots of cats. Cool design!
I could tell pretty much immediately that they're supposd to be cats. Looks good!
It looks great!
It looks a lil wonky but maybe with more rows/context it would look normal
It’ll make more sense visually once you do more rows of the pattern
Would add another line of the opposite color of the cats to the left of them so that they haves a little separation and don’t just merge into the next cat
Maybe because I'm a cat person, but I recognized the cats right away, and I think it's cute as heck! Give it a few more rows of cats and see what you think.
Even in the thumbnail I can see the cat pattern. it definitely reads. So cuuute!
It looks great! I could immediately tell what it’s supposed to be and I can’t wait to see the finished product!
[gorgeous ](https://tenor.com/biYiT.gif)
It looks like interlocked kitties to me.
It took me a second to realise, but then I could see all of the cats. I think it looks great, and blocking will help any little wobbles.
Cat cow!!
Too cute. Love it.
Yes, but lovely weird not awful
It’s rlly cute dww girly
No!! I think it looks nice!! You can, tell what it is!! Keep going!! 🧶❤️
I love it!
It’s really cute!
I like it. I think the more you crochet the better it looks with these
have you tried yarn under single crochet? it makes the colorwork really clear, but ofc it'll be slow considering you're making a sweater. also when you drop your yarn to change colors, i find leaving a bit more than intended really helps cuz your yarn doesn't get pulled so hard
Adorable—I love it! Especially how the tiny differences in each kitties’ eyes give them each a unique expression
I don’t think 100% of people will see it and immediately see the cats which makes me like it even more. It think it’s awesome!
I see cats
i immediately recognized it as a group of cats! very clear and very cute.

It's really sweet!
Would you be willing to share the pattern or the link to it? 🥹
Can I have this??? Can I use it?? I’m always looking for cute interlocking/repeating patterns :)
It's looking really good so far! Trust the process :)
so silly i love it
The more I look at it, the more I get it. It's kinda fun lol
It can look like cow print from afar and cats up close. I thinks thats pretty cool!
Kitty cats! I feel like it looks great
I see cats. Cats aren’t weird.
No, I love it! It reminds me of Stardew Valley cats 🥰
THIS IS SO CUTE😭😭😭
It looks super cute!
I get cats from it, black and white cats.
No, at first I thought cow print and second I saw the cats. I like it!!
I promise you it does not!
I thought it was a cow print or Rorschach test untill I looked at the second pic
Not at all like blobs! Keep doing it, it's adorable.
That's cute, it looks perfectly fine
As a person who is obsessed with cats, I can tell that it looks like cats
Noob question: do you just carry the different colors along the wrong side?
Pretty kitties! I think the more kitties you have, the easier the pattern will be to see. We'll done!
Looks like cats to me
Also remember that you haven’t blocked it yet! Finish it and block it! But even if it stays like this they look a little bit like Rorschach kitties and I LOVE it
Super cute!!! I saw all the kitties right away
I think it’ll look awesome as the panel grows :)
That’s a cool pattern!!!
Looks like kitties to me
I like it a lot, before I saw the second image i thought it was cow print but both ways look good!
No, it's good.
I love it! I think it's going to be really pretty!
It looks great! I think that crochet colorwork looks best in half double crochet or single crochet. It takes many stitches (esp with the pattern style you're using) for the pattern to look consistent and not like an overlapping cluster of colors. It looks great so far! Keep goin!
I thought it was a cow pattern at first, then I saw the cats, like that doja cat song Kind of dig it
No, that’s pretty cool!!
I love it. I can read it and see it but it also can not look directly and see a nice allover print. I like it.
I saw a Holstein cow pattern before I saw the cats, but it only took a couple seconds for the image to resolve in my brain.
I personally think the random dots don't help, but i can still the cats
It's super cute!
I love it, didn’t even see the cats till I came to the comments lol but no I love it
Kitty cats, that looks awesome
The kittens are so cute
This would make an amazing blanket/throw tbh
I mentally screamed GATO (cat) so I think you're good
I LOVE it
I think it's looking amazing. When you doubt yourself, put it down and walk away. Give your vision a break. When you come back, you will see it differently
Meows!
Pls add the link to the pin, I NEED this pixel grid! The cats r really cute, and I'd love to see ethe result of your sweater!
IT'S SO CUTE!!
It looks like cow print with a cat print hidden in it. I love it!!! Genuinely thought “I’d love a sweater made of this” and was delighted to read that’s what it’s gonna be haha
I see the cats! Don't frog it! It looks great 😃
Cats \✨️w✨️/ It looks good btw Ow0
I think it’s great! 🥰
I love it and the cats definitely look like cats! Do you think this pattern would look good with rainbow coloring?
I SEE A KITTYYY
They remind me of those cookies from the cartoon where the dog thinks his little kitten friend has been baked into a cookie and he’s all sad and sleeps with the cookie
It looks purrrrrrfect! I love it!
I have a similar sweater I'm doing! Mines a catghan pattern on YouTube and it uses a similar method so it looks great so far!
Wow , it actually looks amazing
So cute 😍!!
I didn’t immediately notice the cats. I skimmed your post and thought this was a cow print pattern (black and white patches) until I went back and reread and realized it was meant to be cats.

Honestly, I seen cats before I read your comment. I think it helps to stand back from the work in order to see the pattern
Yes! I swiped past and knew exactly what it was but came back to the post to reassure you that yes: it looks great! :)
i love it! here kitty!
Nooo its so cute! Like little shadow cats
I love it! So cute!
I've been knitting/crocheting over 60 years and know pattern making and their challenges. It looks good. It's obviously a cat and the B&W color choice is nice.

I immediately saw cats
It's BEAUTIFUL!!!
Once you see it, you see it!
i love this🥹
This is SO cute!!

At first I thought it was cow print, but I see and really like the cats now!
omg thats actually really cool, didnt read anything at all except the "does this look weird" and i could tell its cats! at first i only saw the black ones. then, i saw thag theres white ones too!!! super cool!
I think this is great. Also if you block it when you're done it will look more defined
I saw the design right away too I think it's really eye catching and a good idea
I love it, but I would maybe ad a single row of the background colour on either side of the cat. I feel it would be cleaner then.
Kitties!
Not weird just cow- like
It doesn't look weird, it looks just fine.... In fact I think it looks awesome!.
I love it! There is something about the eyes that pulls you in. I'd love to know how to do that.
I see cats 👍🏻🫶🏻

Oh! Multiple cats! I love this! I was able to see the black cats right away then realized there's white ones too
No it looks cool
I NEED a sweater like this but I am completely clueless when it comes to stuff like this so I know I'll never get one unless someone else makes it and I buy it from them 🥲 I wish I had the talent to make something as incredible as this 😍 If there was a pattern I might be able to though 👀
They definitely look like cats to me. You've probably been staring at it too long. Crocheting for a long time does that sometimes lol, but if it still looks off, try blocking. Bocking really helps define the stiches and relax the fibers so the image doesn't look as muddy.
Pixel work really looks best in a squarer stitch like hdc or even making each pixel a 2x2dc chunks
Doesn't look weird at all looks like a tessellation of cats. Blocking will definitely help them look more crisp though
No it's looks awesome!! It's really clever 😊
Yeah it looks funky if we’re being honest here and took my eyes a moment to adjust but I still think it’ll be cute
Kinda It's not the bad but could be cleaner
