Special Notes:
Because there are so many different sizes of cats and dogs, the pattern is easily customized.
To easily customize the fit to your pet, measuring their neck size would be a great help for you to figure out the perfect fit to it.
Because this is a scarf, if you are customizing it, I suggest measuring between their ears to the bottom of their chest and doubling the measurement.
A helpful tip is to remember the even st is the hdc and the odd st is a sc
Below are 3 suggested sizes.

Materials: 800-1100 yards of #4 Worsted Weight Yarn US H or 5mm Crochet Hook 16 oz Pillow Stuffing
Finished Sizes: 20” x 20” 24” x 24”
The Your Buddy’s Bed Crochet Pattern uses the N-Stitch. The N-Stitch uses the basic crochet stitches, the single crochet stitch and the half double crochet stitch.
Because you are only using the single crochet and the half double crochet, the combination of stitches create a nice beautiful texture. It is also a close stitch which will keep it’s shape and will help keep the Pillow Stuffing inside.
You can find a Left Handed Version of the N-Stitch on my YouTube Channel
