An Oregon based nonprofit organization, Hugs for Homeless Animals though their Snuggles Project seeks to provide pets in shelters some warmth and comfort with handmade Snuggles - security blankets for pets.
Snuggles are their main focus and they provide numerous free pet planket patterns for crocheters, knitters, and sewers. When making a blanket for your own pet, why not make an extra to share with a pet waiting to find a loving home?
Crafty Tips:
When sewing for pets, do not skimp on thread quality. Avoid using cone and other thread that may not hold up to teeth and claws. Better to use a non-color coordinated thread then one that could easily break with too many love bites.
