Hi there! So glad you found our happy, little corner of the internet!

Giant yarn and our giant lab puppy Clue are two of my favorite things. Buuut, as you might have guessed, the two don't usually mix very wellhaha! At least my luxury giant yarn isn't usually a great combo with my happy go lucky puppy! Despite that, I've been thinking for quite a while that it would be SO fun to make Clue a dog bed out of giant yarnI mean, how cute would that be?? But the shedding and doggie smell in a nonmachinewashable project stopped me from making one. Then just recently, I found out that Michael's with Loops & Threads just came out with quite a number of fun, economical, giant yarn options! (And while dreamy, merino giant yarn will always have the first place in my heart, this is a super exciting, fun option!) I bought two skeins of the Loops & Threads Wild & Free yarn and whipped up this dog bed in no time flat! Added bonus, Clue actually loves the dog bed and sleeps in it every night nowwoot woot! So in case there were any other dog lovers out there who have been just wishing for a way to craft for their pooch, I thought this would be a fun project to share.;)

As always, if you have any questions, comment below! And if you make your own giant yarn dog bed, would you tag me in a photo on Instagram?? (Find me @peonyandthyme) It seriously makes my whole day when I get to see the beautiful projects that you all make from my little tutorials!

Thanks so much for watching, and happy knitting!
