Make something your cat will love. And never let you forget it.
The Cat Cave is a cozy, structured enclosure that your cat will claim as their own territory within seconds of you setting it down. It works up in super-bulky yarn (fast progress, satisfying thickness) and holds its shape without a wire frame — the dense stitch pattern and optional felting create a sturdy, warm cave that lasts. The opening is sized for cats up to 12 lbs, and the pattern includes instructions for a larger variation for bigger breeds.
Skill level: Intermediate — large-scale construction, consistent tension is important for structural integrity.
What's inside the pattern book: Two size variations, yarn recommendations for structure, felting instructions (optional), progress photos, and a troubleshooting section.
