It’s been a while since I’ve worked intarsia into a garment, but the Meow Dress brought me back—and I’m so glad it did.
This idea sparked from the love you showed for my Peek-a-Boo Kitty Top. That pattern got so much support, and I couldn’t shake the thought: what if I did a whole dress with cats? So here we are.
The Meow Dress is a simple, relaxed design—with a surprise. Bold intarsia cats lounge across the front panel, adding just the right touch of fun. It’s worked with basic half double crochet, which makes it approachable for advanced beginners ready to try something new, and satisfying for experienced makers who want a mindful, rhythmic project.
And it works up fast. The body is just straight panels, and the shaping is minimal. The only “next-level” part is the intarsia section on the front, but I walk you through it in the video tutorial.
