P364 Cat Cocoon

P364 Cat Cocoon

EASY CROCHET

MAKR COTTAGE LOOM

Make this ultimate snoozing spot for your kitty with this crocheted Cat Cocoon. This little house is the shape of a mouse with ears and a tail which your cat will love to play with, and so this also becomes a cat toy. A simple single crochet stitch is used throughout the pattern where the entrance is made by crocheting over a wire ring, which gives support and holds the shape of the cocoon; while the middle portion increases to expand, and then narrows with the tail made as a crochet chain at the end. The ears are made separately and attached.
