• Step 1

  Cast on 6 stitches.

• Step 2

  Arm knit 6 rows.

• Step 3

  Cast off all the stitches.

• Step 4

  Sides
  The edgings are worked one at a time along each edge of the bed base.

  To make the rst edging, pick up
  4 centre stitches along the cast-off edge of the knitted base, missing the rst and last stitches. Cast off these 4 stitches, leaving at least a 20.5cm (8in) yarn tail from the last cast-off stitch.

• Step 5

  To make the next edging, pick up
  4 centre stitches along the cast-on edge of the knitted base, missing the rst and last stitches. Cast off these 4 stitches, leaving at least a 20.5cm (8in) yarn tail.

• Step 6

  To make the side edgings, pick up
  3 stitches, centred along one side of the base. Cast off these 3 stitches, leaving at least a 20.5cm (8in) yarn tail.

• Step 7

  Pick up 3 stitches along the other
  side edge of the base. Cast off these
  3 stitches, leaving at least a 20.5cm (8in) yarn tail from the last cast-off stitch.

  Step 8

  Making up
  Refer to Figure 1 as you work.
  (It doesn’t matter which way the stocking stitch side faces.) Using the 20.5cm (8in) cast-off yarn tails, connect the two sides of each corner together by looping the tail through the rst stitch of the connecting side piece and then tucking the tail back into the last cast-off stitch on the tail side. This creates a seamless edge to the cast off.
  Weave in all the ends. Shape the bed so the stocking stitch side is visible inside the bed. If desired, needle felt the ends of the wool roving for a more secure connection.

  tip
  Try other less expensive wool roving for this pet bed, such as Corriedale, Shetland, or common domestic roving.
