Instructions

  1. Starting Square: CH 60 (Note: The size of your starting square should be 24 x 24”)

  2. Sides: Fold edge up 4” on one side. Attach yarn about 8” from one side with a slip stitch. Surface crochet across the edge and back of the panel until you’re 8” away from the other edge.

    Fold the next edge over 4”, make the corner into a point, and continue to surface crochet along the next edge until you’re 8” from the next edge. Repeat twice more until all four edges are attached to the back. SL ST to the first SC and fasten off the yarn.

Cozy Cat Bed

Cozy Cat Bed 1

The Cozy Cat Bed crochet pattern is a beautifully handmade and comfy bed for cats. Its soft and plush design makes it a cozy and warm spot, ideal for peaceful cat naps. Using thick yarn makes it extra luxurious and soft, wrapping your pet in comfort. Any cat that gets to use this bed will be really pampered, all thanks to the care and love put into making it.

Materials:

  • Yarn: Hoooked Ribbon XL (Super Bulky Category 6) for the bed and bottom of the cushion, Cozy Sherpa by Loops and Threads (Super Bulky) for the top of the cushion
  • Crochet Hooks: 8.0 mm for the bottom, 7.0 mm for the sides of the bed, 9.0 mm for the cushion top
  • Stitch Marker

Stitches Used:

  • ch: chain
  • st: stitch
  • sc: single crochet
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • inc: increase (2 single crochets in the same stitch)
  • mhdc: modified half double crochet (see special stitches)

Special Stitches:

  • Modified half double crochet (mhdc): yarn under, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through all three loops on the hook.
  • Yarn under: wrap yarn around the hook from front to back instead of back to front like a yarn over.

Gauge:

4 inches = 9.5 rounds from the center

Finished Size:

15 inches across and 5.5 inches tall

Pattern Notes:

  • The base and bottom of the cushion are made with tape yarn.
  • The removable cushion’s top is made with the fuzzy yarn.
  • Ensure the top of the cushion fits into the bed; adjustment in rounds may be necessary due to the fuzzy yarn’s variability.
  • No need to change hooks when working on the bed; you can use the L 8.0 mm hook throughout.

Pattern Instructions:

1. Base/Sides: Use single crochets in joined rounds for the base. Perform a round in the front loop only without increasing. Then use the yarn under half double crochet (mhdc) to work on the sides.

2. Cushion: The cushion is made using joined rounds of single crochets for both top and bottom parts.

Requirements

Use a bulky-weight yarn to get a firm texture that will hold its shape. You’ll also need a large hook. Here’s an example with US crochet terminology:

  • J (6.00 mm) crochet hook
  • 750 – 800 yards of Bulky weight yarn
  • Stitch markers
  • Yarn needle
  • Scissors

Stitches

  • Chain (ch)
  • Single crochet (sc)
  • Single crochet increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
  • Slip stitch (sl st)

Pattern

Round 1: Start by making a slip stitch, then chain 2. Make 6 sc in the second chain from your hook. (6)

Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12)

Round 3: Sc in the next stitch, then 2 sc in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. (18)

Round 4: Sc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 sc in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. (24)

Continue to increase in this manner (adding one more stitch between increases in each round) until the base of the bed is as large as you want it to be.

Next Rounds: Sc in each stitch around, without increasing. Continue until you get the desired height of the bed.

Final Rounds: Switch to a slightly smaller hook if desired. Sc in the back loops only to create a “ledge”. Continue for 3-5 rounds or until you like the look of the edge.

Finishing: Sl st in the next stitch, then cut a long tail. Weave in all ends.
