Crochet that cat a couch

[soc_puppet]

I've hit a block in Project Halzskaraptor, and figured I'd get a start on a kitty couch, because why not.

Turns out, for the vast majority of the rectangular couches, the pattern is alternating single crochet with double crochet stitches. Not every other row, oh no! Every other stitch. While this does serve to make a pretty nice visual texture, it's also a pain in the butt. I'm currently planning to finish the bottom as instructed, then switch entirely to double crochet and use the bottom as a measuring tool for the rest. I don't care if it doesn't look quite as good, it's for cats to lay down on; the fact that it's a cat-sized couch is already interesting enough!

will you share photos when finished? I only recently found a pic of a bentcane dogbed and I have rediscovered my love of smaller but not miniature furniture and a cat couch sounds cool!

I'll do you one better! Here's a Tumblr post with several finished examples, including cat models! I've got vague plans to make one just a size or two bigger than that for Chester the dachsund, but I want to finish the prototype first.

they look so cute kitsch! I must say I love the ones with mini granny square blankets, although I did just go through a bunch of knitting/crochet books and found a pattern that is stripes with baubles which would equally look cute
