How I Design and A free Cute Pattern

How I Design a Crochet Pattern &

A Free Leg Warmers for Dogs Crochet Pattern.

Many people have asked me how I come up with all 

my fun and sometimes crazy ideas for Dog apparel. 

Sometime I get suggestions, and sometime I have 

 ideas swimming around  inside my head.   

When I decide on a specific idea, I usually

 draw a very rough picture.

See The Video on my Youtube channel at this LINK

 In this blog we are going to Design Leg Warmers for:

Maximo and Rosie..The world's Cutest Dog Models!!!!

I am a visual learner, some would say "an artist", 

but looking at that drawing, no one would say that now. 

But anyway, I need to see it on paper to see
 what I want to create. 

As you can see I also take a few measurements.

 I then decide what stitches I want to use. 

Since these are very small, 
I decided to use Single Crochet. 

I want them to be stretchy so I  am going
 to stitch the rows Vertically.

I begin with a chain, and from there design the pattern.

 I write down the pattern in the notebook as I go. 

This way I can change it,  

and make marks and ideas, about the pattern as I go.

It probably looks like Scribbles to you,

 but it makes perfect sense to me ( most of the time).

I always measure, over and over again. Crocheting

can be tricky and I want my finished project to fit.
