The Crocodile Stitch can have 
many different variations, 
and even the way the stitch is used, can 
give you different results.

Each designer has used the crocodile stitch
 for the purpose of their pattern. 
Some are thicker, and some are thinner. 
And the different yarns used can 
give you different looks.
This is a really fun stitch to play with.

So have fun with it!

Use that tail of yarn to sew together. Weave in ends.

And That is it! 
Just slip it on.
and if you use Red heart Super Saver --
it is machine washable!

No buttons, Velcro, buckles or snaps 
to get caught in fur or 
become chewing hazards.
Rosie Bell likes her Bandanna, also.
her bandanna is
 one row longer then Maximo's
I have no idea why she 
stuck her tongue out, 
But I think it is adorable!

Crocodile Stitch Dog Collar Crochet Pattern

I Love the look of the Crocodile Stitch
 and wanted to incorporate it into a simple, yet
 fun crochet pattern. So I started with a dog collar...
I definitely have more ideas in mind!
I have been working on this 
pattern for a few days,
and really wanted to make it 
easy to understand.
Please, Add This Crochet pattern to Your 
Ravelry Favorites

Skill : Easy

Materials:

Hook : H
Yarn- Any Worsted Weight yarn
Tape measure

Stitches:
Chain (ch)
Double Crochet (dc)
V Stitch ( vst)
Crocodile Stitch ( croc st)

Getting Started:
I will try my best to explain the Croc st. in easy to follow terms,
but if you need more help here is a link with pics
Crocodile Stitch Dog Bandanna photo Tutorial

The first thing you need to do is measure your dog's neck in inches,
according to the pic:
For a 12 inch neck ch 37, add or subtract 3 chs per inch to
 adjust to your dog's neck size, also, you need a odd
number of chains for the pattern to work properly.

R : 1 - 1 sc in the second ch from the hook, 1 sc in each ch, ch 1, turn

R : 2 - (V- St Row)-- 1 dc in the 1st st, * skip the next 2 sts,
 (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the next st, repeat from * across row,
1 dc in the last st. turn

R : 3 - (Croc St Row) - 1 dc in the 1st dc, *turn work sideways and
 st 4 dc around the 1st post of the dc of the 1st v st,
 then turn work the opposite way and st 4 dc around
the post of the other dc in this v st. That is the first crocodile scale,
1 sc in the next v st, turn

Repeat From * across row, 1 dc in the dc at the end of row.

Again, if you don't understand how to do the croc st,
check out the link I listed above.

R : 4 - Ch 3, and Repeat R : 2

R : 5 - Ch 3, and repeat R : 3

R : 6 - Ch 3, 2 sc in the 1 v st, 2 sc in the center of the 1st croc st,
 * 2 sc in the next v st, 2 sc in the next croc st, repeat from * across row,
ch 7, ( the amount of chs here will depend on your dog' neck measurement)
 join to opposite side of the collar with a sc, to form a circle, turn, ch 1,

R : 7 - 1 sc in each sc around collar, join and tie off

This is a Great project to help you learn the Crocodile Stitch.

Happy Stitching!
