A secure place for your pet to hide-out, this crochet pet nest is a great gift for a pet owner. Stitched using 2 different Bernat Blanket O’Gos, pattern is worked back and forth in the round from the bottom up, with easy increases and decreases to create a colorful striping pattern. Pattern uses the split half double crochet stitch to create a very sturdy fabric that looks like knit. With the insertion of a simple corrugated plastic structure, this nest will keep its shape and offer lots of space for comfort!

Materials: Stitch marker. Yarn needle. Heavy duty shipping packing tape. Utility knife. Straight edge for cutting. 2 pieces of cardboard each 5” 12.5 cm wide x 41” 104 cm long or 1 piece of 20” x 30” 51 x 76 cm plastic corrugated board.
