Materials Needed

  • Yarn: Super bulky chenille yarn, 100% polyester
  • Needles: US Size 15 (10 mm) circular needles
  • Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
  • Stitch Marker: To mark the beginning of the round
  • Scissors: For cutting yarn
  • Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends
  • Optional: Removable cushion for added comfort

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base of the Bed

  1. Using the long-tail cast-on method, cast on 60 stitches.
  2. Join in the round, ensuring that the stitches are not twisted. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
  3. For rounds 1-5, knit all stitches. This will form the base of the bed.

2. Body of the Bed

  1. For round 6, work the following pattern: *Knit 4, purl 2*; repeat from * to the end of the round.
  2. Continue in this rib pattern until the piece measures 12 inches from the cast-on edge. This creates the cozy sides of the bed.

3. Decreasing for the Sides

  1. For round 1, work the following pattern: *Knit 2, k2tog, purl 2*; repeat from * to the end of the round. This begins to shape the sides.
  2. For round 2, work: *Knit 3, purl 1*; repeat from * to the end of the round.
  3. For round 3, work: *Knit 1, k2tog, purl 1*; repeat from * to the end of the round.
  4. For round 4, knit all stitches.
  5. For round 5, work: *K2tog*; repeat from * to the end of the round. This will close the top of the bed.

4. Finishing

  1. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches).
  2. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the top of the bed.
  3. Weave in all ends securely using a tapestry needle.
  4. Optional: For added comfort, place a removable cushion inside the bed.
