Crochet Instructions

Base of the Bed

Round 1: Chain four, slip stitch into the first chain to create a ring, chain one. Work six single crochets into the ring, incorporating your tails as you go to tighten the center afterwards.
Round 2: Mark the first stitch, then work two single crochets in each stitch around (12 single crochets total).
Round 3: [SC in the first stitch, 2 SC in the next stitch] – repeat around to make 18 single crochets.
Round 4: [SC in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 SC in the next stitch] – repeat this sequence around to reach 24 stitches.
Round 5: [SC in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 SC in the following stitch] – repeat for 30 single crochets total.

Continue increasing in this pattern through:

Round 6: [SC in the next 4 stitches, 2 SC in the next] – end with 36 stitches.
Round 7: [SC in the next 5 stitches, 2 SC in the next] – for 42 stitches.
Round 8, … up to:
Round 10: [SC in the next 8 stitches, 2 SC in the next] – for 60 stitches.

Increasing Base Size (Optional)

After Round 12, if desired, continue to expand the base until it reaches about 17 inches or your preferred size.

Building the Sides

Round 12: Work one single crochet into each front loop only.
Round 13 and Beyond: Work one single crochet into each stitch around for as many rounds as you like. The example project worked 11 rounds for the sides.
