I’ve two cats, and I’ve at all times needed to make them some form of cat mattress. However I additionally really feel like they might utterly ignore it, so I’d be higher off spending my knitting time on somebody who I do know will recognize it (me). If you wish to give it a strive, although, listed here are some cute pet beds to knit for cats, small canines, and possibly even some greater canines.
My favourite of those I got here throughout in penning this publish is the Capiti knit cave that appears like a cat. This one is from Ursule Knits, and from the sample description it feels like it’s calmly felted by hand to make it rise up, so you could use wool to make it. It requires DK weight however I’m positive worsted would work, too.
The Maya Cat Cave is one other cute cave-like undertaking. Designed by Lavi V and utilizing tremendous cumbersome yarn, it’s like a purpose-made sack in your kitty to hang around in. It makes use of a metallic ring (such as you may use to make a dreamcatcher) to make the opening sturdy. You will discover this one on Ravelry.
If you happen to don’t need to be fairly as literal as a cave, this pet mattress nest from Monique Rae is one other sensible choice. This one is flat on the underside with brief sides. It makes use of two strands of worsted weight yarn held collectively and is available in six sizes for a spread of cats and canines to be cozy in.
This round cat mattress knitting sample from Ginger Purl is cute and simple to knit if you happen to’re aware of knitting flat circle. This one is striped, which is a superb reminder that cats don’t care what shade their mattress is, so that you may as effectively use leftover yarn on it.
I’m somewhat skeptical that this pet mattress that’s made with roving and arm knitting will look pretty much as good as soon as an animal has seen it, however it’s a cute and fast undertaking (and you would simply use it as a basket that kitty is allowed to get in relatively than a devoted area). The sample is from Wools by Nicky and features a video tutorial if you happen to’re new to arm knitting.
If you happen to’d relatively knit a blanket for the canine or cat in your life, try the Ziggy Zag Pet Blanket by Paws and Purls Knits. This beautiful reversible blanket is available in 5 sizes for varied pets, and if you happen to make it in washable yarn it’s the proper factor in your furry pal to cuddle with.
Or in case you have a pet who will undergo a hood, I really like this hooded pet blanket from Yarnspirations. Utilizing Bernat Blanket yarn, it’s tremendous cozy (and brilliant!) and fairly simple to knit because it’s all labored in a single piece. The sample solely has one dimension but it surely’s only a rectangle with a hood so you would in all probability regulate it fairly simply for the scale of your pet.
