How to Make Marijuana Joints for Your Feline Friend

If you've ever wanted to treat your feline friend to something special, why not make them their very own marijuana joints? Don't worry, these joints are completely safe and free from any harmful substances. In this guide, I'll show you step by step how to make medium-sized marijuana joints for your cat.

Supplies Needed

Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the supplies you'll need for this project. Here's what you'll need:

1. G Hook
2. Scissors
3. Worsted weight yarn (Red Heart would love Holly Red, Charcoal, and Beige)
4. Lion Brand Fisherman Wool Ease (optional)
5. Catnip (optional)
6. Stuffing

Making the Marijuana Joint

Starting with a Magic Circle

To begin making the medium-sized marijuana joint, start with the red yarn. Create a magic circle and make eight single crochet stitches into the circle. Once you've completed the eight stitches, slip stitch and chain one.

Adding Single Crochet Rounds

For the next round, make two single crochet stitches in each stitch. Continue this pattern all the way around until you have a total of sixteen stitches. Slip stitch to join, but do not chain one.

Switch to the gray or black yarn to create the ashy part of the joint. Attach it to your work and chain one. Proceed to make one single crochet in each stitch around. Slip stitch to join, then switch to the beige or cream yarn.

Stuffing the Joint

Continue working single crochet rounds for a total of ten rounds. If desired, you can work in a continuous circle to avoid a visible line. Stuff the joint lightly with some stuffing and a sprinkle of catnip.

Decreasing and Shaping the Joint

Next, you'll start decreasing the stitches to shape the joint. Work three single crochet stitches and then decrease by working the next two stitches in the front loop only. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the round.

For the subsequent two rounds, work single crochet stitches in each stitch without decreasing.

Closing the Joint

Once you've completed the rounds, it's time to close the joint. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Thread the tail through a tapestry needle and weave it through the front stitches. Pull tight to close the hole and secure with a knot. Trim any excess yarn.

Congratulations! You've made a medium-sized marijuana joint for your cat. Experiment with different yarn colors and sizes to create joints that suit your cat's preferences.

Making Different Sizes of Joints

If you want to make joints in different sizes, simply adjust the number of stitches and rounds accordingly. For smaller joints, work fewer stitches and rounds, and for larger joints, increase the number of stitches and rounds.

Tips and Tricks

• Use high-quality yarn to ensure durability.
• Add extra catnip for a more enticing toy.
• Make sure the joint is securely closed to prevent any loose stuffing.

Conclusion

Making marijuana joints for your feline friend can be a fun and creative project. It provides them with a unique toy that they can enjoy and helps stimulate their natural instincts. Remember to always supervise your cat while playing with the joint and ensure they do not ingest any yarn or stuffing. Enjoy crafting and bonding with your furry companion!
