My new puppy needed a bed, and I had soooo much red yarn, so I whipped up this simple pattern.
Bed measures approximately 19” diameter with 4” deep sides
Materials:
Caron One Pound – 20 oz.
Size J (6.0 mm) crochet hook

ASSEMBLY:
Place both pieces together with a little Fiberfil or quilt batting in the middle. Sc through both thicknesses all the way around to close cushion.
SIDE:
Row 1: Ch 1, working in BLO, sc in 116 sts. Leave rem sts unworked.
Rows 2-6: Ch 1, turn, dc in each st.
Row 7: Ch 1, working BLO, dc in each st.
Rows 8-12: Ch 1, working in both loops, dc in each st. Fasten off yarn.
Measure length of side (approximately 45”) and height of Rows 1-6 (approximately 4”). Cut a piece of foam stabilizer to this dimension. This will give the side of the bed a little extra support. Sew Row 12 of side to Row 1 of side, inserting foam stabilizer in between as you go.

Wish you would have included instructions for attaching the side to the bed. Thank you for the pattern. My kitty will love it I am sure.
The side is crocheted onto the cushion, then half is folded down and sewn in place. I hope your kitty 😺 enjoys the bed.
