This is a great Cozy Pet Cave Pattern. The braids add the needed support for your pet. It’s all single crochet! This will work for an advanced beginner or intermediate skilled person. I only used approx. 2/3 of each of the 5 skeins needed, and if you have a lot of scrap yarn (we all have that), you can construct the floor with scraps and only purchase 4 skeins for the dome of the cave…..it’s up to you. I’ve had a lot of requests for this pattern. I make these for pet rescue….and the Pets LOVE them! Have a great time making this cute Pet Cave……it is COZY!
