Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in shades of gray and cream
• Crochet Hook: 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 single crochets (sc) x 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Base

1. Start with a magic ring. This will be the center of your base.
2. Chain 1 (ch 1) and work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
3. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet.

2. Increase for the Base

1. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 single crochets in each single crochet around (you will have 16 single crochets).
2. Round 3: Chain 1, *single crochet in the next single crochet, then 2 single crochets in the next single crochet*. Repeat from * to * around (you will have 24 single crochets).
3. Continue increasing in this manner: for each new round, increase the number of single crochets between increases until the base measures 18 inches in diameter.

3. Create the Sides

1. Once the base is complete, work even in single crochet for 5 rounds to create the sides of the couch.

4. Form the Backrest

1. Chain 1, then single crochet in the next 18 single crochets. Turn your work.
2. Work even in single crochet for 6 rows to form the backrest. This will provide support for your cat.

5. Make the Armrests

1. Attach the yarn to one side of the couch.
2. Chain 1, then single crochet in the next 6 single crochets. Turn your work.
3. Work even in single crochet for 4 rows to create the armrest.
4. Fasten off the yarn and repeat this process on the opposite side for the second armrest.

6. Assembly

1. Using a whip stitch, sew the armrests to the base and backrest of the couch.
2. Make sure everything is securely attached for your cat's safety and comfort.
3. Weave in all ends to give your project a neat finish.
