Thank you c c she is as soft as silk and I love your word poofy, she is just so :)
Adorable. Thank you! 💚
You are welcome Kate, glad you like it. 😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I used the pattern to make a bed for my dog. I hope I am not being rude, but your voice in the video reminds me of a voice from the show kipper. I feel it helped me retain the information better. Thank you for the video.
That's lovely, Jessica, I hope your dog likes it and of course you are not being rude :) I remember watching Kipper many years ago with my children but cannot recall the voice, I will have to find a copy :)
Brilliant tutorial, thanks you.
You are welcome Elaine, thank you.
I remover watching this video a few weeks ago wanting make this for our 14 year old cat nikolas, and just a few days ago he passed away due to cancer. I still have 3 other cats and I plan on making one for them!!! Great pattern love the vid!!!
Sorry to hear of the your loss of your cat. I’m sure the others will love their bed💕
This is a wonderful idea, and it looks so easy to make. I'm going to give it a go this weekend for my cat. Thank you! :) ~Catherine~
You are welcome Catherine, hope your cat loves the bed as much as mine :)
I love the bed. Think my cat would love it. If you offset your increases in the base just by one stitch in each row, you will actually get a circle rather than the haxagonal shape.
Thanks Karen. I'll try that. :)
LOVE IT!!
Very cute!
i finally finished mine, yay! my dog loves it! i made a huuuuge one lol and stuffed it with mattress slow rising foam. might add a center idk.
That’s so lovely. Hope they enjoy snuggling in it 💕
@@PookieDoodleCrafts he does! thanks so much!
Wowwwww bella y facil grasias
I'm really glad i found this video :) I crocheted two of these already, because my cats both loved the first one so much! And I'm about to make a few more for the shelter cats where i volunteer at☺️ Even tho i used the Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn - it came out perfect!❤ Highly recommend, cuz also my cats prefer these beds, instead of shop ones :,)
That’s so lovely to hear ❤
purrrfect!! thank you very much
So glad you liked it 💕
Your cat is beautiful and I love the bed. Definitely this weekends project (I need several as I have 6 cats!). TY😻😻😻
Vicky Delrossi thank you Vicky. Good luck with all the beds, if you use some good thick yarn they should grow quickly! :)
Thank you God Bless
I think I over stuffed a bit but it turned out so cute, thank you!! :-)
I wouldn’t worry, the stuffing tends to settle and compact with use so it might be a good thing. Glad it turned out OK 👍
I love the look of this bed! I'm about to make this for my cat buy I was wondering what size crochet hook was used
Hi Abby, I used 5.5mm but it depends on your yarn, I used chunky and Aran.. Full details in my blog post, link in description. Hope your cat likes it as much as mine does 👍
This has been easy to follow! The only issue I'm having is keeping the circle flat, how do I fix that?
It should stay flat, I wonder if your tension is a bit tight, maybe try to crochet a bit looser or add an extra stitch in the increase now and again.
ive just been searching for a crochet cat bed tutorial and hey presto i found you and im soooooo glad i did.... its just what i was looking for its perfect and looks so comfy i cant wait to start it. 💜 ive subscribed and looking forward to having a look through your channel. just a quick question if you see this before i start it.... how many strands of chunky yarn do you think i should hold together.
Hi Sam, so glad you found what you were looking for. My cat loves her beds, I've made 4 now for her different sleeping places! One strand of chunky was enough, I even used double knit for one, it worked fine but just needed firmly stuffing to keep it stiff. 👍
@@PookieDoodleCrafts thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly im going to get it started later today.
I have never seen a magic ring done in three steps! Do you have a video showing this? I thoght I had conquered this stich but you raise it to an art!
Hi Jill. I always thought I did it like everyone else! How many steps do others do? I've only got the start of this video to show how I do it but if you think it would help I'd be happy to make one on it's own.
Oh Yeh! There are many video's out there but it took me 5 times watching one to learn it myself. Yours is really a magic ring! Just watching how you crochet is like...watching a great symphony! How many years have you been doing this?
I've been crocheting over 50 years but probably only doing the magic ring about 10 or so, when I started doing more amigurumi. You've inspired me to do a video when I get chance :) Thanks for your kind comments.
Awsome
This is a very easy-to-follow tutorial. I made a basket for my son who is coming to visit at the end of the month. Or rather, I made it for his cat.
I made a cushion insert from a piece of foam I cut out (two circles, one the size of the foam and one bigger to cover the sides, then sewn together). Since I had quite a bit of foam left, I decided to use it for the sides instead of stuffing. But now I had a problem with ruffling on the inside. Could you advise me: how should I space the reduction stitches over the rows?
Not really sure what to suggest. I think it would have to be a bit of trial and error spacing decreases on a row and seeing if it stopped the ruffles, I don’t think you would need too many.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video ❤. QQ: can I put this in the washing machine? I am worried about the stuffing inside.
I’ve never tried washing machine but have hand washed OK. It’s a tricky one as it might depend on the type of stuffing and how much is put in.
I would like to make this for a Staffordshire bull terrier dog how would i make it larger if that doesn't sound to thick
Hi Nikki, of course that doesn't sound thick :) To make it larger I would work the base round and round until you thought it was wide enough for your dog to sit on, then begin the sides as in the video. If you want the sides higher, again just continue going round and round until you are happy with the height and then finish off the stuffing and sewing part. Hope that helps and your dog appreciates your effort.
Not trying to be dumb or nothing but why is the Double Crochet a single in the US? and yes I am new to crochet only been doing it for a few months now
Not a dumb question Christy I've often wondered too. I guess it is like language, different countries have evolved different names for things.
I forgot to ask, can this be used in a wash machine & dryer?? I hope so!
It would depend on the yarn and stuffing, if it is washable then yes. Or if you are not sure then maybe a very gentle wash.
This is so cute, can you tell me how long it will take to make this bed for a cat? Thank you!
I suppose it depends how fast you crochet but it took me about two evenings. Hope that helps :)
@@PookieDoodleCrafts thank you for your response. I'm a beginner really with crochet so if it took you two evenings..I'm thinking it will take me 2 weeks LOL! I will have a go at it and share with you photos when I'm done😊
@@7898Mario That would be lovely, look forward to seeing to photos. Good luck :)
Is there any chance you'd be kind enough to measure the base part of one of your beds? I'm using a slightly bigger hook and yarn I have on hand and would like to make the circular base as close to the one in the video as possible. I'm not sure that increasing to 25 stitches between increases will make it end up the same size as yours. Thank you so much!!
Hi Donna, I've just replied on Ravelry but will add it here too to make sure you get a reply., it's about 18"/46 cm across the bottom diameter.
Hope that helps.
Good luck xx
@@PookieDoodleCrafts Thank you so much! I apologise for spamming you on two platforms - I didn't know if you'd be more active on one than the other. I appreciate you taking the time to reply in both places.
How much stuffing do you need? Dont know if I should buy 300g or 1000g:)
I’m not sure as I didn’t weight it, I used an old pillow I think, it depends how stretchy your yarn is too and it does pack down as you stuff, so if you think you’d use any leftover stuffing in another project and can afford it I’d probably go for the bigger pack.
I just found this video and I've been trying to make this bed but I keep failing. My edges start to curl up at around the 4th round. I start with 3 dc then increase the next stitch. Should I skip one so it doesn't curl? Or what am I doing wrong? I've had to restart multiple times and it's always the same result. :(
Do you think it’s curling because you have too many stitches and it’s loose? Or because there is not enough and it’s curling because it’s too tight? Each round should add 1 stitch between each of the increases. For example do an increase then do 4 stitches then another increase, on the next round do 5 in between the increases, next 6 and so on.
I’m allergic to cats but I have one due to some unforeseen circumstances, but I really love him anyways and I’m making him a cat bed so he doesn’t lay on mine and make me sneeze :)
That's the sweetest thing I've heard, I hope it works and you can stay together 😸
Tip: If you're yarn bed curls when you're single crocheting, make the GAUGE bigger.
What size hook? US size. Thank you
Mine is curling into itself. Im about 5 rounds in. Am i doing something wrong?
You might be crocheting a bit tight or maybe you have not got the right number of stitches between the increases.
How many grams of yarn did you used in this tutorial?
about 250 - 300g
Is this cat bed big enough for 2 kitties?
Two kittens maybe but you'd probably need to make it bigger for two full size cats. Mine curls up and fits in perfectly on her own.
Is there a written pattern for this as well?
Yes, there is a link to it in the video description 👍
Numero de lana y ganchillo
Oh I see it. 5.5
Glad you found it Terri, sorry I didn’t reply earlier was away.
Hi. Well I want you to know my older cat loves his new bed. I'm making more for family members who have cats. This is such a fun pattern.
Thanks again
@@terriwade226 that's made my day, thanks for letting me know. Hope all the kitties love their beds x
