DIY Knitted or Crocheted Holiday Pet Gifts

If you’re hooked on knitting or crocheting, chances are you’ve probably accumulated a stash of yarn leftovers that are just too beautiful to throw away, yet you never quite know how to use them. So if this sounds like you and you’re also looking for a way to personalize your holiday gift giving this year, look no further.

DIY Soft Knitted Dog Bones

You’ll love these adorable Knitted Dog Bones, not just because this project is a great one for beginners, but it’s also the perfect way to use up all those leftover yarns too. And the pattern can be adjusted to make larger sized bones if you have a large dog. Of course if you know your dog is the type that totally annihilates most pet toys, you’ll need to use your own discretion to determine if this knitted toy will be appropriate for your pet.

Cozy Crocheted Cat Hive

When I first saw this clever cat bed with this cat peeking its head out, it reminded me somewhate of a Bee Hive, so that’s why I’m calling it a Cat Hive.  The website it’s on appears to be in Finnish, but fortunately the site owner been kind enough to provide us with instructions in an English Translation, which you’ll find if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the post.  It seems the concept of cozy translates across almost any language!
