I just made one of these for my 18 yo cat and she climbed right in and went to sleep 😍 I had to watch the video a couple of times to get it as I knew next to nothing about crocheting but I did get there in the end, thanks to you filming and showing the entire process. That was so helpful! Thank you, great video 🙂
Aaaw, how cute! Glad the video was helpful!
I did one for my dog and he loves it:)
I missed the amount of yarn needed; how much is a skein?
You are who taught me to knit , I now make blankets almost everyday I hope you would be proud of my work
Amber, thank you, glad you learned it with my videos!
I just made MY FIRST cat bed & one of my cats IMMEDIATELY jumped in & made herself comfortable. To be honest, I’m not sure if any of my other cats even had a chance to check it out yet because she hasn’t left the bed since I put in on the floor. 😂😂😂 Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH for this incredibly helpful video. You are EXTREMELY TALENTED 🥰🥰🥰
You are so welcome! Thank you for your nice words! Glad your cat loved the cat bed you made watching my video!
Yes its because the bed has ur scent!😊😊
Thank you so much for the tutorial. First time I’ve finger crocheted. Highly recommend this cat bed; so easy, fast and finished project is lovely. Thanks again!
You are welcome!
I have very limited crochet experience and did this with one viewing of the video, great instructions thank you!
Thank you Ella! Glad you liked our video and it helped you to make a bed for your kitty!
Thank you for taking the time to share this fantastic project...I cannot wait to whip one up for my furbabies ^_^
I LOVE your videos!! I watch them every night before bed and they relax me to fall asleep!!
I have also made a big chunky blanket for a school project and I am so proud of it- all from your videos!! Thank you!
So nice, thank you so much!
Thank you for posting such a clear, straightforward video!
You are welcome!
After searching for several videos. I finally did it by your instruction. Thank you.
Great, glad it was helpful!
I just made one and I made it in 3 colors. I love it but I'm making it for tiny dogs so this size should be perfect. I LOVE your videos BEST out there. So easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank you Emaly, sounds great!
It’s been so long since I crocheted, I was a bit nervous. I found your video and you make it seem so easy. Thanks so much. I can’t wait to go home and try it!
Diane, great, you will love to make this cat bed!
My bunny will LOVE this! Thank you!
You are welcome!
Absolutely beautiful, I just received my chunky chenille and can’t wait to do one for my doggie.❤️
Sounds good!
This looks so easy. Thank you for posting and sharing. I'm excited to start.
You are welcome!
i like that cat bed i hope you bring more out your so cool
I just finished mine and it turned out great!!!😊
Great! Glad the video helped!
You give great instructions that are easy to follow. I don't have a pet but I made it to place under my bathroom sink to put supplies like toilet paper etc.
Thank you! Great idea, love it!
this was the best tutorial i looked at it and was so easy! thank you! my cat will hopefully like it
Thank you! Cats love these cat beds!
I love your tutorial. It is so detailed and easy to learn. I am a 70 yrs old grandma and want to learn how to make a bed for my granddog. My granddog is a mid-size corgi, around 30 lbs. Can I use this method to do a bed for him. I guess I should do more than 14 1/2 inches in diameter, then follow your instruction on the rows. Please advise. I live in Vancouver, Canada. Thank you very much
Thank you! You can start with 16-18 stitches and make a bed for your doggie!
This was so very easy! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I will make a larger one now for my huge cat! I foster neonatal kittens and this will be great for them when they are 4+ weeks old.
Thank you! Happy Knitting!
Aforable! I love it. 💕 Thank you. My kitties will be warm this einter! 😊😺🙏🙏
I thought this was clickbait (i'm a beginner in crochet) but I am shocked how easy this was to do and I'm so impressed with the final product. Thank you!!!
You are welcome!
This is great! Did take a few try’s in the beginning but After practicing it became very easy.
Sounds good!
Yay! Im so happy you made this video. I have this yarn and a cat. thank you!
Great! Hope you will make a great bed for your kitty!
Hmmm...You could crochet a cat, cat plays with yarn, cat crochet herself a cozy bed
You have everything you need! ❤ 🐈⬛🐈
i tried so many other videos but this one helped so much!
Glad it was helpful!
i think i figured it out!! what a pretty cat bed! or small dog.... great xmas present
Great! Hope you can make your doggie or kitty happy!
Very well explained, I appreciate this tutorial very much as each step is clearly shown and explained. Thank you!
You are very welcome!
Thank you for your easy to follow instructions and video. This is my first time crocheting without a hook so I had to practice a bit to get the hang of it. Once I did, it was easy sailing! I made this pet bed for my sisters new cat for Christmas., hope he likes it! I also made a removable bottom round which helps support the walls and added an octopus made out of the same yarn for him to play with.
Judy, sounds great! Glad my video was helpful!
I just made one! My kitten loves it!
Sounds great!
Thank you! Just what I wanted!
i crocheted one for my cat and she usually doesn’t like the beds i make for her, but she just climbed right in and fell asleep! i was confused but so happy it worked! no more crocheting cat beds and then realizing she doesn’t like them lol!
Glad it worked!
Thank you for this video. I regular crochet, and have never finger crochet before. You make it so easy! I am getting the yarn next month, to make several, for myself, family, and freinds😊
You are welcome! Glad you like it!
@@BeCozi my cat just loves it and I do too!
@@tommieharris1178 Thank you, sounds great!
I just Love your videos! Thank you!
Just made 2. Thank you. Super fun
Thank you!
Wow! It's beautiful.
You make it look so easy 👏👏👏
Will try 👍
🤗 💞 Scotland 🏴
Thank you!
My brain hurts but i will try it
You can do it!
Thanks for the great video. I have already finished 3 cat cups. best regards
Very nice! Thank you Rita!
Where can you order this super chunky size from an international web shop?
I love your video and your great instructions!! I made a few of these for myself and for friends using the same yarn. After I washed mine, the walls relaxed too much and become very relaxed and floppy. Is there a way to make these with something besides avwire that will support the walls. I don't want to use a wire as it may somehow poke/hurt the pet.
Maybe it is not supposed to be washed.
beautiful explanations 😍
You are so talented! Thanks for sharing videos!!
You are welcome!
Ohhh the cats will love this...
They will sure do!
how do i wash this bed? with this wool?
Me and my boyfriend are nursing a orphan newborn kitten and I’m sure he would love this
Sounds good!
Hello, thank you for your video ! I’m a beginner in hand crochet. I did already one cat bed that was great. But now I am doing a second one and there is a problem… it is taking a shape like waves 🌊 if that make sense .. and when I do the walls it doesn’t look like walls .. what should I do ?
Thank you so much l’m probably gonna refer back to several times until I’m done with my project 😅
I made one of these with a higher wall and use it for my yarn supplies. My family was surprised at how fast it was to make.
Yes, it can be used as a basket!
Thank you for all of your wonderful & helpful videos! Would you be able to make a video on how to make a removable insert for this bed? Thank you!
Amber, you are welcome! That is a great idea - will do!
Thank you for the video. Looking forward to making it for my cats❤️
You are welcome! Use our Chunky chenille yarn: becozi.net/collections/chunky-chenille-yarn
thank youuu , i made one for my cat . the other tutorial use hooks and i dont have one
You are welcome! I use my hands for knitting and crocheting everything. No needles, no hooks
How wide is it before going upward for sides?
Love!! ❤️
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial, how much of skinny merino wool for this project ?
Maria, you will need to use two strings together, thus you will need 1 lbs of skinny merino wool from becozi.net
How would i make the base double the size of this one? Do i keep the same single 1,2,3 and 2 singles in 4th? Until i get to the size base i need?
Keep crocheting around until you have the base of a size you need
What kind of mega super chenille yarn did you use? Are there lots of brands or will it be easy to pick one at the craft store?
This is BeCozi chunky chenille. You can buy it at becozi.net
So easy to follow. Thank you. If I wanted it wider (for my dog) how would I do this?
Keep crocheting making a base of the size you would like and then start making walls as I am showing in the video
Lovely! I'm a crochet beginner and this looks like something I can do! Thank you! I have a question though... what is your recommended washing/cleaning method for this bed? Thank you!
BeCozi Chunky chenille can be washed in cold/warm water, lay flat to dry
My first one turned out great but when I try to chenille I can’t seem to make it look right. Have hard time getting it started.
Sandy
Try again using the video
Hi! I'm having trouble with my walls flaring out like a saucer once I turn the bed inside out. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks, Larissa!
Hard to say not seing it. You can send us a picture to info@becozi.net
Does anyone have a video similar to this but for a large bed? Just curious how to make the base bigger, how many loops to keep doing...
For a bigger bed - keep crocheting the base until you have the size you need, then start making walls following the video
Hello! I’ve made a few of these , but whenever i am done with the base and ready to start making the walls, the base is already starting to curve upwards ): so even tho it measures 14 1/2 some of that actually turns into wall… if that makes sense, what am i doing wrong ):
You are not doing anything wrong, it is normal for the yarn to curl. Add a row or two if you would like to base to be a bit bigger. It does not matter for cats that the walls are soft and curly - they love these beds anyway
Your videos are so helpful and awesome!!!! :D can you do ugg style boots with extreme knitting next??
Thank you! Interesting suggestion, will try!
BeCozi What a great idea ... they would be so soft and warm.
Really easy to follow not sure what I am doing wrong but when making the walls they still lay flat and don’t look like walls haha
Thank you! Make sure to use the both sides of a stitch to make the wall - a hand is going under the bottom side of the stitch.
I can’t figure out the flower for the start
I made a few of these and turned out so good. After my cats used them a few times the walls don’t want to stay up it’s like they cave in. What can I do to make the walls not cave in?
The walls are supposed to be soft, they will not stand up when used.
My sisters know how to crochet with the needle. I don’t know how to crochet. They won’t teach me. 🙄😆
After watching this video I GET IT NOW!! I know I can crochet with my hands like this lovely lady does! THANK YOU THANK YOU❣️❣️
You are welcome! Hand crocheting is MUCH easier than crocheting with a hook. Glad you can make a cat bed yourself now!
I’m having so much fun finding fun things on TH-cam to make for my cats! I have a cat who fetches, and I’ve been making pom poms for him instead of buying more balls. (Hint-secure with zip tie instead of yarn, otherwise it will fall apart after a few fetches.).
I have a cat who loves cozy cat beds-found a couple great tutorials. Definitely will try. I’m just curious about this particular one though-why no hook? I can see hand crocheting for this project is very easy/doable. I’ve seen other tutorials using pretty much same pattern/yarn with large hook. I’m just curious, not criticizing. It turned out lovely. Can’t wait to make one for my lounge kitty.
Edit: never mind. I just checked out your channel. Looks like band knitting/crocheting is your thing. Amazing how many lovely things you have whipped up with your hands and chunky yarn. I’ve got my eye on those chunky slippers. I’ll subscribe, and I’ll be back.
Because it is Hand crocheting and it is much easier than crocheting with hook, at least for us:-)
One question below:
I made one a while ago and my boy cat loves it, he has claimed it as his own lol. Very cute, very good tutorial! Thank you! BUT can you wash them? I'm mainly concerned about the material not being as soft after a wash... but it would be nice to have it cleaned after use
If you used BeCozi Chenille yarn - it can be washed
I'm making another one tonight, for my friends daughter🙂
Sounds good!
How would I expand the diameter? I need it to be about 16-17 inches since my cat is alittle bigger?
Keep crocheting the base until it is 17 inches long, then start making walls.
Hello, how much yarn do you need for this cat basket in meters or weight ?!
You need 2 skeins of BeCozi Chunky chenille yarn, its 24 yards each, 48 yards total. You can purchase it here: becozi.net/collections/chunky-chenille-yarn
Can I just use 2 strands of bernat blanket yarn instead if the yarn you're using?
You can definitely try!
hi so sorry to intrude. i use bernat blanket big from michaels store. one skein is 10.5oz . michaels is always having yarn on sale. i’m not trying to take away business from becozi. you taught me how to handknit. i am working on a blanket for myself 7.5ft wide by 8ft long. it’s not done yet but it will have 25 skeins of bernat blanket big yarn. using seed stitch and double ribbing. the bernat blanket big is very close to chenille yarn and they have lots of colors that is if you have a michaels near you. i do and i have to go there alot for yarn. this is just another option if you are interested and i hope it helped you. good luck and keep up the good work. sincerely claire
How do you make the bottom bigger for a dog?
Keep crocheting around till you have the base of a desired size, then create walls
I’m having an issue with mine- the walls end up flat, just like the base of the bed. Any tips?
Try to watch our new video tutorial and follow every step: when walls are made - the stitch is done differently:th-cam.com/video/D49EQl5R3DM/w-d-xo.html
somebody please tell me where to find this type of yarn in amazon or in flipkart???
This yarn is sold on becozi.net/collections/chunky-chenille-yarn
Lindo trabalho, parabéns, qual o nome destes tecidos (tipo cordas) que usa? onde comprar? Obrigado!
Obrigado! Esta é a lã Merino, você pode comprá-la em becozi.net
I love them, like to try it, and would like to make two. One must be a little bigger (long kitty), any good advice? :)
For a bigger bed, keep making the base until you have the desired diameter
@@becozi7313 Thanks, just hope I do it the right way. 😂 Bad at this!😀
@@tonewilhelmsen2425 I am sure you will do good! May be trying a few times but it is very doable
@@BeCozi Thanks 😂😀
I am new to hand knitting and knitting in general. I have redone this video probably 20(+) times and am never happy with my results. One side looks beautiful and the other side has giant loops hanging out. Any tips for a newby?!
Try to make your stitches as small as possible, To make a beautiful wall, go underneath the whole stitch, not just one part of it - it will make a beautiful wall. Watch my other videos hand crocheting a cat bed: th-cam.com/users/becozi.videos
@@BeCozi thank you! This is very helpful
@@meganbrosseau7227 You are very welcome!
Thank you so much I finally did it. I still need more practice but I did it 🫶🏾
You are welcome!
I cant do it. Very difficult. My rows started looping up. It ended up looking like a mushroom hat
Need to watch a video again and follow the steps
Het, it is so cute! where did you get these type of yarns?🥰
becozi.net/collctions/chunky-chenille-yarn
How to make the base bigger please?
Make one more row for the base
How do you increase beyond 4 rows to make a large bed for a 35LB cat?
Keep crocheting the same way around for as many rows as you need and when you have a round base of desired size - start making the walls
BeCozi
thank you for replying to my question.
I think I will do 6 chains to begin a large oval bed cat bed.
BeCozi The bed turned out great! All the cats love it.
is this using jumbo yarn 1"?

hi, what length do you need please? I could not understand in the video
I'm using super chunky chenille yarn from BeCozi.net. One skein is enough for this cat bed, one skein is 30 yards
@@BeCoziHello I am trying to buy this yarn. The Chunky says it is 24 yards and the Jumbo says it is 19 yards. Is there another that is 30?
@@alicekey7266 We have BeCozi chunky chenille - 24 yards in one skein and BeCozi Jumbo chenille - 19 yards in one skein. For a cat bed you will need 2 skeins of CHUNKY and 3 skeins of JUMBO.
@@BeCozi OK, so different than the video which shows it being made with 1 skein that's 30 yards. I assume it's possible to use 1/2 a skein and then use that other 1/2 to start an other bed.
@@alicekey7266 When I was making a video, we had chunky chenille of 30 yards in one skein in stock. We now switched to 24 yards in one skein. So, 2 skeins would give a nice cat bed. 1.5 would have lower walls.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. After the first few stitches it looks like a lump and not a beautiful flower as you described it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
are you adding stitches as in the video?
@@BeCozi I thought I was. I think it was putting it all in the first hole that confused me. It got really tight in that area and just looked like a knotted ball. I'm going to keep trying. I'm fostering a senior cat starting Wednesday and want her to have this.
@@jesslilly1170 Maybe try to stop the video and rewind it back
@Kelly Lehr Here is a new video for the same cat bed: th-cam.com/video/D49EQl5R3DM/w-d-xo.html
My first attempt looks like a hat :-/ can you do the single/double alertnate slower please?
Instead of making a cat bed I made a rug it’s the same but with no walls lol
Thanks for the great tutorial on the cat bed but you never mentioned how much yarn you need?
lwknicely She has given the link to buy the yarn, in the description. You need 2 skeins of yarn. 8oz each.
Hi 1st time here and loved it!
Question...I NEED to make a bigger cat bed, for a bigger cat, and this will be my 1st time/project!
Because I'm visual and will be following your Video steps EXACTLY, could u tell me, on your video and maybe even on the timeclock of your Video, where & how can I make a BIGGER cat bed PLEASE???
Thank u so much for your help!
I would say, that I actually need to "double" the size of the cat bed that u made, on this video!
@@harvestbride Keep crocheting around until you have the diameter of a cat bed you need: at 9:02 I start making the walls - you keep crocheting until you reach the size you need, then start making the walls
Would you keep crochet around using the instructions for the last row (before the walls) on subsequent rows? So 3 single then 2 single in one stitch?
do you have one with hooks ?
No, sorry, we knit and crochet with our hands only
Hello please how meters you neeed? Thanks
40 yard.
Can this be washed?
Absolutely
I really want to make this cat bed for my two kitties. But I am confused about one thing. In the video it said you will only need one skein for the cat bed. In the description it says, each skein is only 8 oz and that you will need TWO skeins. So... do I need one or two? Please answer this question, I'm desperate. 😁
The video was made with a skein of 10 oz, ONE skein was needed. Now, our website becozi.net, has skeins of 8 oz ONLY and 8 oz IS NOT enough for a cat bed. That is why TWO skeins of 8 oz needed
How do a make a 10 oz skein then?
@@mochamae2182 The skeins are not made, the skeins of yarn need to be purchased. There are no 10 oz skeins for sale any longer, only 8 oz skeins. You need to buy TWO skeins of 8 oz at becozi.net to make a cat bed as in this video
Yes, I know I need two skeins of the yarns. So... how do you attach two skeins together?
