Yarn Type and Amount Required

For a crochet cat bed, you will need a special kind of yarn, especially if you want it to be durable and comfortable for your pet. The designer recommends using t-shirt yarn, which will ensure the right amount of thickness and sturdiness while still being soft.

Here are some of the brands that have this type of yarn in their offer:

  • Hoooked Zpagetti Yarn
  • The Fox Yarn Co. T-Shirt Recycled Cotton
  • Tek-Tek T-Shirt Yarn

To complete this cat bed, you will need a little bit over 1kg (about 2,5 lb) and an 8 mm crochet hook.

How Big Is the Finished Nest Cat Bed?

The finished cat nest is 37 cm x 37 cm wide and 20 cm high, while the entrance measures approx. 15 cm wide and 11 cm high. A pet bed this large will fit small to medium-sized cats.

Don’t worry if you think your cat might be too big. You can modify the nest size by increasing the number of stitches in the first round, but keep in mind that this change will require adjusting the whole pattern. Plus, you will need more yarn than originally planned.
