Grandma Knitting a Scarf Next to a Sleeping Cat
Coloring guide
Grandma sits smiling in a wooden rocking chair, working a long scarf with two needles. She has round glasses, a hair bun, and a dress with a rounded collar and buttons. The scarf has wavy stripes and a fringed end, and a strand of yarn runs down to a ball on the floor by her feet. In the bottom left corner a little cat naps, curled up with a happy closed-eye face. The chair's ball-topped posts and curved rockers leave lots of room to color. Soft purple or teal stripes would make the wavy lines pop, and the yarn ball could be a matching shade. Little ones can start with the big dress and chair, and older kids can tackle the fringe and needles. It's a free printable for a quiet afternoon or Grandparents' Day. Love this Family coloring page?
