Fish Cat Toys

[unicorn37757]

Oh these are really cute! I'd love to make some for my cats but they stay outside & the dogs would surely eat them!

[DebbyinLV]

How cute!! I want to make some and don't even have a cat!

Yay! This is a super cute pattern. I just whipped one out for my cat. However, I'm very new to crocheting in the round, and was confused by this instruction.

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

Do NOT join, mark rnds

 

I may have misunderstood this, but basically what I did is after the adjustable loop, I ch 1, turned and then did RND 1. At the end of RND 1, I ch 1, turned and did RND 2. All without joining the round to make a formed shape, so instead it ended up being a big flat thing at the end. I was assuming that I somehow did this wrong, because then when it said to stuff I was looking at it going "But how? There's nothing to stuff yet." Am I misinterpreting something in the instructions? Was I simply not supposed to join the adjustable ring, but then slip stitch to join each rnd? Or is it done in a spiral, so there's no ss needed at the end of each rnd? Sorry to sound like such a dunce. Now I think I'm confusing myself even more, the more I type...!

These are adorable! My three kitties will definitely have at least one in each of their stockings! My sister's cat needs one as well! What a great way to use up some of the leftover "bits!" Thank you!

What does it mean do not join rounds, but mark them?

 

Please pardon me, I'm a 2 dimensional thinker.

 

 

Thanks,

These are so cute, my cat had 7 kittens 5 weeks ago, a good friend is taking 2 of them, I must make her some toys.

 

[Snikki28]

Too cute. I need to make a couple of these for my tea cup doxie... who has a thing for cat toys. She treats the little mice and such as her "babies". I encourage the cat toys now b/c she used to select my TY beanie babies which I have had to put away so she won't hide them or chew on them. Thanks!!!!

[jlybly1]

:catDefinetly too cute! Have feeling that my cat will like these too!

[CrochetLiving]

They would like good strung up for a fish mobile!

[CrochetAmore]

These are so cute, they are supposed to be cat toys but I think a kid would like them too!

[Terena]

[goodtaste]

That is such a wonderful idea for our lovable furball!

[darski]

I am just wondering if there is a problem with the pics for this.  I can't see the image and Flikr would not let me see it either.

 

Probably just my comp but I thought I would ask as I have a grandfur baby and something like this could be good.
