Merrimack Dog Bed 2.jpg


Debsrand56

My first attempt at wicker:  a “wicker” dog bed.  I got the pattern here, but shrank it to half-scale.:  http://joannswansondiyminiatures.blogspot.com/2011/05/  (scroll down a bit) I used size 30 crochet thread.  I think if I try this again, I’ll go a bit smaller with my thread, like a size 50, maybe.  What was hardest was braiding it.  The thread was so fine, it just wanted to kink and twist as I braided it, instead of forming a smooth, flat braid.  I don’t think I can go smaller than 30 for the braid.

And a fabulous first effort it is. Looks like you've been making them for years. :)

Tempting, isn't it?  Given how well you did on your cat, you'd probably do a great job!  But remember, this is half scale.  (Evil grin)
