We would do anything for our beloved pets - including making a cosy hanging bed ourselves. In this tutorial, we show you how to make this pretty hanging bed using macramé knots and a sewing machine. Your cat will love it - we are sure! 

Tie the suspension

Cut two strands of cotton cord about 6 m long, take them double and attach them to the metal ring with the lark's head knot. Tie the four strands with the spiral knot until the desired length is reached.

Repeat the process 3 times.

Finally, take all 4 strands together, pull them through a wooden ring, double them and tie them with the winding knot.

Create the lying surface

Attach several 1 m long ribbons to the metal ring with the lark's head knot. The more ribbons you take, the tighter the later knotting pattern will be.

Use the staggered square knot to knot all the ribbons all the way round to the middle.

Bring the ribbons together in the middle and tie them with the winding knot.

Sew the cushion

Cut out two circles with a diameter of 50 cm from a fabric of your choice. The seam allowance has already been taken into account.

Place both fabric circles with the printed sides on top of each other, secure with fabric clips and sew together. Leave about 10 cm open for turning.

Turn the fabrics over and fill the cushion with batting. Sew the turning opening closed by hand.

Finish the hanging cushion

Place the finished cushion in the basket and put it in a quiet place. Your cat can now rest in its new bed.
