Pattern description from Stitch ‘N Bitch:
I’m a sucker for eyelash yarns, and they know it too--a couple of skeins mysteriously manage to jump into my bag every time I visit my local yarn store. After knitting too many extra long, skinny, furry scarves, I decided it was time to make something more useful with my favorite yarn. Voila: a fashionable furry bed for my furry companions. This project is perfect for beginners--a long garter stitch rectangle sewn to the edge of a garter-stitch circle. That’s really all there is to it. Both the pattern and the intended recipients will forgive any imperfections, so relax and have fun with it. Your cats will love that you’re finally knitting something for them!
