THIS IS A DIGITAL CROCHET PATTERN, NOT A FINISHED PHYSICAL ITEM

Welcome to Hasty Tortoise Crochet, where my yarn obsession meets my love for pets! Follow this pattern to make a Cat Cave Bed that any cat is sure to love.

There’s something about this yarn that cats adore! I can barely set a finished bed down before there’s a cat in it (although, maybe that says more about the number of cats in my house than about the beds themselves.) But, I assure you that these beds are biscuit tested and approved by many finicky felines! This newer design provides a safe, cozy hiding place for napping.

I invite you to find a comfortable chair, turn off the distractions, ready your yarn and hook and take a deep breath. Crochet is a fabulous art that perfectly merges beauty and utility. If you already have a little crochet experience, then this Cat Cave Bed pattern is a perfect next step in your crochet journey (and your feline friend will thank you for their delightful hand-made gift!)

ABOUT THIS PATTERN
Cats love to feel safe and cozy when they nap. My cats are always trying to cram themselves into impossible places to curl up for their daily nap marathon. This Cat Cave Bed design was inspired by their love of snoozing where it’s warm and safe. Made with the same Bernat Blanket Big yarn as the beloved Large Cozy Cat Bed pattern, your cats are sure to love this new design! (Side note: if you happen to foster feral kittens, this bed is perfect for lowering their stress and helping them adjust to their new Human world - and, of course, it’s washable!)
