Chunky Dog Snood Crochet Pattern by Sara Sach

Please, Add This Crochet Pattern to Your Ravelry Favorites.

Skill: Easy

Materials:
Crochet Hook: J
Tape Measure - to measure your dog's neck
Yarn: #5 chunky or 2 strands of any Worsted weight yarn,
        Solid and Variegated - I used Charisma  from Michael's

Stitches:
Chain (ch)
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Double Crochet (dc)
Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc)
Stitch Together (st tog)
Change (chg)

Size: Fits a 9 inch dog neck
         3 chs = 1 inch


Getting Started:
The first thing you need to do is measure your dog's neck LOOSELY.

To adjust the pattern to your dog's neck - Your dog's measurement X 3 + 5 chs
For example  - (9 X 3)+5 chs =32 so cha 32 chs for a 9 inch neck

To adjust for length - You will also need the Length measurement:

from the crown of your dog's head, down the back of their head , to the collar.

You will add additional rows for more length.

Pattern:

 NOTE:-  neck measurement + 7 inches = how long your ch should be.

 ( example Maximo's neck is 10 inches + 7 inches = 17 inches.

 R: 1 - Starting at the hood, Ch for your dog's measurement, 

see note:, join in a circle, being careful not to twist the ch, ch 3

 R: 2 - 1 dc in each ch around, join with a sl st, ch 3

 R:  3 - 1 dc in the 1st dc, *1 fp dc in the next dc, 

1 dc in the next st, repeat from * around, join, ch 3

 R:  4  - 1 dc in each st around, join, ch 3

 R:  5 – R: 7  - Repeat R 4

 R:  8 - (decrease rows) 1 dc in the 1st 4 sts, 

*1 dc dec with the next 2 sts, 1 dc in the next 4 sts, Repeat from * around , join, ch 3

 R:  9 - Repeat R: 8

Repeat R: 8 until you have decreased to your dog's neck measurement .

(Maximo's was 10 inches, so I decreased to 10 inches)

 R: 10 - 1 dc in each dc around, join, ch 3

 Repeat R 10 for the length of your dog's neck.

 R: 11 - Repeat R: 3  and tie off.

Keep your pooch warm

This Snood is Made with Charisma from Micheals.

Christmas Slouchy Hat Crochet Pattern

Its Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas!

I went to the gym,

then ran some errands.

My hair was wet, and It is cold,

 so I decided to wear my

New Slouchy Christmas Hat.

I got so many compliments

 that I thought I would share

the Crochet pattern with you!

This is the FREE pattern I used.

You can get it From Ravelry

Or from Craftsy

It has 2 sizes included and its super easy.

What I used:

I used Christmas Sparkle I Love This yarn

from Hobby Lobby for the body of the hat,

and 1 strand of white buttercup

 and I strand of white I Love This yarn,

white for the hat band and pompom.

I also added the wreath, which is also a free pattern,

I found on Ravelry

It looks a little pointy because I did a 

few extra rows at the tip,

 and kind of pulled it that way.

Merry Christmas!

Yarn Ball Winder - Makes Yarn Cakes!

I was involved in the

"Craftanonimous Gift Exchange" this year,

and I received this yarn ball winder.

I was so surprised and excited to

receive such a wonderful gift!

I let it sit for about 2 weeks,

 till I had tie to play with it.

So, I am working on an order and my yarn became tangled,

 really tangled.......

Ok, it is time to try out the Yarn winder......

And I made a white cake!

That was so much fun, I think I'll make another one.

Then, I went through my left over yarn balls,

and did few more

And Just few more.

All of my left over yarn balls.

Became yarn cakes!!

I Love This thing.

No more chasing yarn balls around the room.

This one was ordered from Amazon...

You have got to get one.....

I don't know how I functioned with it!

A Quick idea For matching Gloves
Gloves :

I Love these gloves for driving.

I buy them at Target and Walmart.

I keep a pair in my purse, car and several other spots,

but, but I always think they are too short.

So I decided to make them longer.

The first thing I did was do a blanket st

 around the top of the glove.

Be sure to stretch the glove and try it on,

 to make sure you are not stitching to tightly.

Then I used the same technique I used for the

 Hounds Tooth scarf.

Using the pattern : dc, sc, dc, sc, .... and changing colors every row.

Each row I added a few increasesto make it sort of fan out.

And I Love them!

Stay warm and enjoy!
