Introduction:
This pattern demonstrates how to crochet a super cute and cozy pet bed that’s perfect for small puppies or kittens. The project requires minimal supplies and is beginner-friendly, using chunky yarn to create an adorable space for your furry friends. Follow along step-by-step to create your own custom pet bed that your pets will love.
Supplies Needed:
- Yarn: Bernat Big yarn (shade: “Sky” in the video)
- Crochet Hook: 25mm hook
- Additional Tools: Stitch marker (optional, giant stitch markers not required)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Introduction to the Pattern
- Begin by making a slip knot and creating a chain of three stitches.
- If you are comfortable with the magic loop method, you may use it, but the creator recommends starting with a slip knot since the magic loop didn’t work well for this yarn.
Row 1: Initial Single Crochet Foundation
- Work eight single crochets into the second chain from the hook.
- This is the foundation row where you will start figuring out how to hold and manage bulky yarn.
- Adjust to handling the larger yarn—it’s very different compared to working with standard-sized yarns.
Row 2: Single Crochet Increases
- Work an increase (two single crochets into each stitch) around the entire row.
- Mark one loop with a stitch marker to keep track of your progress. Since larger stitch markers may not fit, simply use what’s available to mark one loop.
Row 3: Single Crochet + Increase Pattern
- Alternate between one single crochet and an increase (two single crochets in one stitch).
- Continue this alternating pattern all the way around the row.
- Use the stitch marker to track your row progress, marking only one loop.
Row 4: Single Crochet in Front Loop Only
- Work single crochet stitches into the front loops only of each stitch.
- This creates a textured and slightly elevated edge for the pet bed.
- Repeat this single crochet stitch around the entire row.
Row 5: Solid Single Crochet Round
- Work single crochet stitches all the way around the row (standard single crochet, not front-loop only).
- Repeat the steps without increasing or alternating patterns—it’s a solid row to build the edges of the pet bed.
Row 6: Single Crochet + Increase Pattern
- Work six single crochets, followed by an increase (two single crochets in one stitch).
- Repeat this pattern until the row is complete.
- The row may not end evenly with the pattern—simply finish with an increase and proceed.
Finishing:
- Slip stitch into the first stitch of what would have been Row 7 if continuing the pattern.
- Cut the yarn and weave the ends securely using your hands (no additional tools needed).
- The pet bed is now complete and ready for your furry friend to test out!
Conclusion
The finished pet bed is ideal for small pets like kittens or puppies. The project uses chunky yarn and is quick to finish, making it a satisfying weekend creation. While working with larger yarn can be challenging at first, it becomes easier with practice. The creator noted that her pets loved the bed so much that she plans to make multiple versions in different sizes and colors.
