Dewey The Chihuahua

This morning, I received an Email From a Sweet lady 

who had purchased many of my patterns.

here is that email: 

DEWEY

"Dear Sara, 

            ...I have a couple pictures of my little guy to share with you. He was amazing and much loved. He touched so many people and inspired them to always look for possibilities. He was well known for his many hats and sweaters - many of them from your designs, which I credited to you. (In fact, I am making another football hat right now for a friend's dog.)
I only had him for about 15 months, but I will treasure every minute of that time. I also have another pooch now - a little girl rescue - a chihuahua fox terrier named Penny. She is being clicker trained now and will ultimately (hopefully) become a geriatric therapy dog. She is a joy.
THANK YOU for your fun and wonderful patterns. They have brought so many happy hours of therapeutic crochet to me and many countless hours of joy to my residents, who just loved seeing what Dewey would be wearing next.
Thanks again.
Mary Bastian "

here is an article about Dewey as well.

to adjust the amount of beads, as well.)

1 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, and in each ch, ch 1 turn. (36 sc)

R: 2 - 1 sc in the first 3 sc,  * push 1 bead  toward the hook,
 1 sc in the next 3 sc,

Repeat From * across row. Continue Until there are only 3 sc left,
 1 sc in the last 3 sc, ch 1 turn. if there are left over beads just push them forward
and you can remove them at the end of the project.

R: 3 - 1 sc in each sc, Ch1.
Place the ends together and st 3 slsts across both ends, tie off weave in the ends.

Optional -Toggle Button :

R: 3 - 1 sc in each sc, attach ch to the opposite corner of this end to 
form a loop for the button hole. 5 sc on the button hole loop, 
tie off and weave in your ends.

Lace 3 of the pony beads onto a 10 inch piece of the hemp. 
Push them tight and tie a knot. Attach them to opposite send of the Collar,

 If your button hole is too big, and the toggle slips through, 
sew up the button hole to make it smaller.

Have fun!
