I finished the knitting for Dotty a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to let Fiona give the finish product a review before I posted about it.
This project is kitty approved!
Pattern: Dotty Cat Bed by Kelp/Kelly Porpiglia
Yarn: Cascade 220 in purple, green, and gray
She’s a small kitty (5.2 lbs when we found her, maybe 7-8 lbs now) so I only cast on 192 stitches.
It fits her perfectly!
She’s also really taken to it, which delights me. I put it next to our bed, so she’d have a nice place to sleep. She had been trying to sleep at our feet, but we would kick her accidentally so it wasn’t a good situation. This is much better, and she’s actually started going to her Dotty bed of her own accord.
I think it also really helps that she can use it as a place to sit while she watches birds out the window.
I messed up on the pattern a little bit, so it’s more like squares than like dots, but Fiona doesn’t care.
I think we’re both really happy with how it turned out!
