More Pet Snuggles


The cats really love these snuggles. Very simple, just one big granny square. The one on the left came out a little "off" but they don't seem to mind LOL! Protects the furniture somewhat from all the hair - I just throw them in the washer when needed and they're easy to toss aside when someone wants to sit and not get covered in hair. It's a great way to use up scrap wool and many shelters accept them for the cages. I would recommend a different pattern for shelters though, maybe just a straight single or double crochet using 2 or even 3 strands of yarn held together for speed and comfort. Average sizes are 12" x 12"and 24" x 24". Of course if you have real wool stockpiled you could make felted snuggles, or even a catbed. I've never tried felting since most of my yarn is acrylic and washable.
Jane you will recognize the peach colored yarn you included in one of your packages was used for edging. The purple was left over from another project and the varigated is what was left over from the other snuggle.

Spots approves! :)

I made one for Erika and she loves it when I cover her with it. Thanks for the idea Diane!
