    I don’t think those are tiny couches, I think those are big cats.

    1. All of these tiny couches have even tinier blankets over the back, mostly made to look like quilts!!
    2. Considering the price of yarn, this is probably as big of a crocheted couch as most people could afford.
    3. I’m not an expert at fabrics, but the bottom right one is clearly different. I’m guessing it was knitted?

      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.

    All of these pics must have been taken in the first ten seconds because there’s not a single snag.

    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).
