Cut out two pieces of fabric 2 inches wider and 2 inches taller than the kennel. These will form the front and back pieces of the cover.
Match up one of the longer edges of each side piece to each of the longer edges of the top piece and sew them together this way.
Match up one of the shorter edges of the back piece to one of the shorter edges of the top piece and sew them together that way.
Sew the longer edges of the back piece to the adjacent edges of the side pieces.

Sew a zipper onto each long edge of the front piece, sewing the other ends of the zippers to the side pieces along the adjacent edges.
