Welcome to Hasty Tortoise Crochet, where my yarn obsession meets my love for pets! Follow this pattern to make a super comfy rectangular cat bed, measuring 19” by 12”, the perfect size for cat carriers, window beds, or cat shelves!

This is a quick and relatively simple crochet pattern to create a cozy rectangular bed for your cat! I love crocheting with Jumbo yarns because they work up so quickly and make something soft and cozy that you know your cat will absolutely love (this pattern uses Bernat Blanket Big, but other comparable yarns would work well too!) Made using only Slip Stitches and Single Crochet Stitches, I’m confident that beginners will love this pattern too! You’ll need to invest in a 25.00 mm hook, but you won’t regret it as I’m sure you’ll want to make more jumbo yarn projects for yourself when you see your cat enjoying their finished bed!

ABOUT THIS PATTERN
Everyone knows that cats hate going into the dreaded carrier! Make their ride much more cozy with this Cat Carrier Bed, made of the same cat-favorite yarn as my popular Large Cat Bed Pattern! This finished rectangular bed measures 19” by 12”, the perfect size for most cat carriers, window beds, and cat shelves. The yarn used is also machine washable and dry-able (a must for those occasional accidents!) This is an easy-to-follow pattern made with basic stitches, including plenty of photos and finishing instructions. I hope you and your feline friend enjoy!
