Free Crochet Cat Couch Pattern

The stitching is fine but the pattern??

This was supposed to be a fun inexpensive thing for me to do in my spare time. I have the original april 26, 2021 pattern that requires the cushion gussets. I've compared this pattern to the newer update of January 2025.. The Only difference is the 2 gussets for the cushions. Here's my problem.. Over a year later. First of all, I should tell you that I have been crocheting since I was 10, so it's been a good 55 plus years I've been doing this. The seat and back cushion are just not making sense at all. The picture says that they're supposed to be twenty four inches wide. In the small size hook , ninety two stitches is twenty one and a half inches , and in the h I worked it and looked at it and looked at it again , and it was thirty one. I've ripped everything down twice, I'm on my third run , and it's just not working out. Am I gonna be stuck at just working on stitches?That will provide me with the right numbers and stitch count within the pattern to make this work? It's a good thing I have 2 more babies.Just try this thing on if I ever get it done.. The one that I was originally making it for has crossed the rainbow bridge.. And frankly , this thing is kind of making me mad here. It's a good thing I was able to find both patterns for free on the internet. Any productive suggestions from anyone would be appreciated, so if you ladies have any suggestions to help me get this done, I would really be grateful.

Frustrations

So I have some issues with this. Maybe they are fixed by now but I am not gonna buy the pattern again to check. The one I have has the date April 26, 2021 on it. First of, the cushions. They are not mentioned in the assembly instructions. Maybe assembling them is second nature to some people, it isn't to me. Secondly, the gussets. They are clearly not used in the pictures of that couch. I assume they are filled with fibrefill? Wouldn't know, it's not specified. Next, the amount of yarn that is needed. Yes, I had to substitue, since Red Heart isn't easy or cheap for me to get in my country. I did however get the same weight and length. I am off by about 2 whole balls of yarn. And I bought extra in the first place because I always get extra to be on the safe side. Then last: The sections for the couch seat and back cushion and the back of the couch. According to the pattern, the parts that need to be sewn together, the top of the back cushion and the bottom of the back of the couch are both supposed to be 24 inches. How that is supposed to work when the seat and back cushion ends on 91 stitches but the back of the couch ends on 77 is a mystery to me. Overall this was very frustrating to make when I constantly have to double check if something else doesn't fit yet. I had to unravel the cushions so I had enough to make the actual couch and didn't want to order more yarn. I also had to unravel the back of the couch to bring it up to the right size. Because I trusted the pattern and didn't read all of it right away. That's on me but on the other hand, I'd think you could afford a pattern tester or two to double check this. I don't want to constantly double check a project that is otherwise pretty straightforward and easy. Overall, these issues turned an otherwise fairly easy pattern into a bit of a headache for me.

Unique cat bed and very nice pattern

My son saw this and asked me if it looked too hard to make for him. He refuses my offers of crochet items because he lives in a warm climate so I was thrilled for the opportunity to make something for his home. His kitty loves it! I enjoyed making it even though getting the foam was more money than I expected. I recommend this project to anyone who likes to crochet and has a cat in the family.

Worth the work!

I never expected my cat to sit on the couch after all my work, but he absolutely loves it. He sits on it every day and I makes me so incredibly happy. Worth the work for my fickle feline 🐈.

Super easy

I used this pattern for my cat and it took me about a month in the summer to make. Turned out great!

It’s a hit!

My grandkitty loves it! She jumped right on it. It is her couch. No sharing.

Is there a video anywhere showing how to put this together? I find it confusing.

What type of foam is used? Hard Styrofoam type, or the soft type used to make cushions?

How to clean it?

What does it mean in the pattern “with MC, ch 46” ?

Can I sell the couch I make using this pattern

How many yards of quilt batting is required?

What are the couch cushion gussets?

Is the measurements for the base of couch correct? It says 80 inches, that's over 6 ft long but the diagram doesn't show it.

For the row right after the 12 slip stitch row for part A of the cushion.. when it says "Ch 1. 1 sc in first dc. *1 dc in next sc. 1 sc in next dc. Rep from * to end of row. Turn." Is the end of the row the 33 stitches after the ch2 from previous row?
