Clowder Star Pattern

 So wow!  Its been since December 14th that I've posted?  So my first pattern of the year is here a little later than planned.  No one here is surprised....

I thought that the points on this star looked like cat ears and to me it looks like a circle of cats.  A grouping of cats is called a clowder so I named this doily the Clowder Star.  At some point in time I will do a larger version based off this star but right now I am obsessed by the Renulek Spring Doily 2023!
