- All of these tiny couches have even tinier blankets over the back, mostly made to look like quilts!!
- Considering the price of yarn, this is probably as big of a crocheted couch as most people could afford.
- I’m not an expert at fabrics, but the bottom right one is clearly different. I’m guessing it was knitted?
There’s a bunch of diferent knots you can crochet for different looks
I do love a numbered list
If there’s three things I hate; 1. It’s a numbered list and B. People messing up the list
Bottom right looks like a different crochet stitch, maybe double crochet into back loop? The others have more of a shell pattern.
is it possible a loom was used for the last one? or some kind of knitting machine.
I’m not too familiar with what loom knitting results in, but my guess is still crochet. You can see where the yarn is twisted into a taller stitch (knitting tends to use many small stitches instead to create patterns) and how the stitches aren’t exactly aligned (taller crochet stitches sometimes slant when you turn the work). Compare the back of the couch (it’s oriented the same as if you were actively working on it) to this: (https://nordichook.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/PinVID_Double_crochet_blo-683x1024.jpg)
ahhhhh you’re right. maybe its just that the stitches are fairly tight. but yep that is crochet.

Tell me those cats didn’t have to spend more than $200 on the yarn for their couches and blankets
Keep in mind most people don’t know any better and will happily use acryllic microplastic yarn instead of real organic plant/animal or even a combo without ever considering the implications simply because its cheapest. Hobby crafts people will absolutely buy the cheapest with the biggest bang for your buck and don’t consider that they’re shedding microplastics all over their home, breathing it into their lungs and in their body. But hey the cat got a cute wittle piece of furniture on the cheap and the microplastics are already here so why not embrace it.
You ok there buddy?
All of these pics must have been taken in the first ten seconds because there’s not a single snag.
I have a few tiny couches for my cats. Not crochet, but one is velvet and the other is I guess regular cloth. They don’t really tear them up. Plus velvet is one of the best materials to have with cats. It cleans up easily and because of the way it’s made and feels, it’s not really fun or relaxing for them to claw it.
The power of velvet is probably one of the best kept secrets for cat owners. I’m always surprised how few people know about it.
I got a nice new leather couch a few years back, and my cat loooves to claw at leather, so I got a velvet cover and it’s genuinely like magic. He can scratch it all he wants and not do any damage. I think he actually realized it after a few days of trying to tear it up, because he gave up and now just likes to cuddle on it. I check on the leather every so often to make sure he hasn’t pierced the cover, but every time I check I’m amazed that the velvet cover and the leather underneath still look brand new after about three years of daily use.
Tldr velvet is basically claw-proof.
What about velour, for us cost conscious connoisseurs?
Really good question, I’m not sure. The main difference between velour and velvet are their weave and pile, right? I would guess they’re both good for cat scratching since they’re so similar, but I don’t know for sure.
Oh, sure, I understand, but yarn is a different story. They don’t even have to scratch it to snag it - just takes a claw sticking out a bit, or them making biscuits on it.
Maybe they are giant cats on normal couches?
My friend made me one for my cat
They look like best buds
They have their moments but they in general are
Amazing! And gorgeous kitties!
They appreciate the compliments!
The couches make the cats look so smol 😻 (or do I just have giant cats?!)
i wonder if loafing is a learned skill or just comes preinstalled.
either way, those are some nice loafs.
One of these is not like the others (and it’s not the bottom right one).
Box >> couch.
Pattern pls
Damn shut up and take my money.
Seriously, who has a good Etsy link Haha.
I don’t think those are tiny couches, I think those are big cats.
