Caveat: While this pattern is a great pattern to teach crochet with, there is a problem with it if the holes created in the pattern are too large or your stitches are too loose. There is a concern for cats getting their claws caught too easily in the loose stitches and the holes do not allow much protection from the cold metal of the cages. Please use your discretion in using this pattern for making Snuggles.

Snuggles Project Mission Statement

The Snuggles Project was founded by our president Rae French, in 1996. …the security blankets are called ’Snuggles’.

…most shelter animals are kept in areas with stainless steel braces and hard plastic flooring or even bare concrete floors. The Snuggles would allow them to have a little reprieve from the coldness of the pen they are kept in.

….while you are knitting, crocheting or sewing your Snuggles, please respect the originality and the future of the project and give credit where credit is due.

Keep the Snuggles Project Alive

Whenever you give your finished Snuggles to a shelter, let everyone know you’re a part of the Snuggles Project effort! Fill out a Donation Report form to help count all the Snuggles that are helping homeless animals.
