Rosie Bell Loves to model!

 It has been snowing for 2 days. 

I do not mind, I love the snow 

and it does not stop us from getting out.

It is so beautiful and 

sparkles like tiny diamonds.

Do You love or hate snow?

I was playing with some 

left over chunky variegated yarns, 

yesterday 

and designed a fun Dog Collar.

And I want to share it 

with you today.

I designed this collar for any size dog,

Cat, pet or even human!

Maximo's Collar

See how easy that is.

It is super Easy to make and a fun 

way to use of your left over yarns.

You could even use 2 strands 

of WW(4) yarns

for a really interesting look.

I love a slip on decorative collar

 for my pooches.

They love them too.

It is a way for added warmth, 

they stay on and 

there are no buttons, 

Velcro or buttons to fuss with.

Reflective Yarn Dog Collar

This is More of a technique, then a Crochet pattern.

So I am going to tell you how I made a Dog Collar with

 Reflective yarn.

You can use Red Heart Reflective Yarn or 
Hobby Lobby Reflective Yarn or any yarn you want.

Reflective Yarn Dog Collar By Sara Sach
Please add this Crochet Pattern to Your Ravelry Favorites

What You will need-

Tape measure 

Reflective Yarn - Amount depends on the size of the collar.

(both the red heart Reflective Yarn and 

Hobby Lobby Reflective Yarn will work for this project)

 H or G -Hook

Yarn Needle

A regular dog collar 

( I found some at the Dollar store)

After pricing, the buckle, clips and D rings, 
it was way cheaper

to use a reg. collar, then to buy all the pieces.

Skill: Super Easy

Stitches Used:

 Chain (ch)

Single Crochet (sc)

Okay, Let's Get Started:

Measure your dog's neck and set the collar to your dog's

 neck measurement.

With the reflective yarn of choice, make a slip knot,

then wrapping the yarn around the end of the collar,

 sc across until you reach the little buckle.

ch 3, then continue to sc around the collar

 until you reach the end of the collar. Next, tie off, 

weaving the yarn in at both ends.

AND That's it!

Both dog's wearing the collars.

Here is where I hang them, right by the door.

So all I have to do is put them on and take them off quickly.

I also have a crochet pattern for a leash and

 collar that would be perfect for this yarn.

Here is the link:

Dog Collar and Leash Pattern

Greyhound Fishtail Collar Crochet Pattern

I was asked a few weeks back if I could design a

"Greyhound Fishtail Collar"

Crochet pattern.

I have never had the joy of owning a greyhound

so I had no idea what the fishtail collar was.

So I did what most of us do...I Goggled it!

Here is what I came up with.

Please note, this is a decorative collar

and a lead or leash should not be attached to the collar.

Skill: Easy to Moderate

(there is a little shaping)

Materials:

Hook:H

Rug Yarn: You can also use worsted weight yarn, but it may not stay sturdy.

2 1in. D Rings

Stitches:

Chain (ch)

Slip Stitch (sl st)

Single Crochet (sc)

We are starting from the center, then working each side.

Starting from the Center : Ch 17, for a 13 to 15 in neck (add 3 chs per in to lengthen collar)

1 sc in 2nd ch from the hook, 1 sc in the next 68 chs, 2 sc in the 69th ch, turn, working down the opposite side of the chain, 2 sc in the first ch, 1 ch in the next 68 chs, and 2 sc in the last ch, join and tie off, weave in your end.

Right Side:

R:1 - Count from the right end of the collar, in 15 sts, attach yarn to the 16th sc with a sc, sc in each st, leaving the last 15 sts unworked, ch 1 turn.

If you added chs for length, the center will be longer, but still leave the lst 15 sts unworked.

R : 2 -  Skip the 1st st, sl st in the next st, sc in each sc, sl st in the last 2 sts, ch 1 turn.

R : 3 - Skip the 1st 2 sts, sl at in the next 2 sts, sc in each st across till 4 sts are left, 2 sl at in the first 2 and leave the last two unworked, ch 1, turn.

R: 4 - Skip the 1st 2 sts, 1 sc in each sc, till last 4 sts, 2 sl sts, leave last 2 sts unworked, tie off, weave in your end.

Turn Collar over and work R: 1-4 on the other side of the collar.

Sc evenly around the whole collar for a smooth look.

Attaching the D : Rings - Attach both D rings to the right side, by folding the end of he collar over the flat end of the rings and sewing down.  Slide the other end of the collar in the D rings and then through the top D
ring to secure.

I added a flower applique and a paw print applique for fun.

I hope someone has a Greyhound and will make this collar a send me a pic.

Same Shell Stitch collar,

 But I added a Butterfly instead of the Flower.

I got this wonderful crochet Simple Butterfly from

The  "Crocheted Sass" Blog

Only I modified it by putting and addition row of sc

 around the wings. I also chain 10, for the body and

wrapped it around to attach it to the back.

With the chain, it could be used as a collar slide as well.

Enjoy!
