Colors Dog Snood Free Knitting Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

I Love This New Knitting Pattern 

and I Love The colors!
They remind me of color crayons.

Snoods are perfect for when it is 

windy or stormy and you 

want to protect your Dog's ears.

And They are super easy

 to slip on for potty time.

Chihuahuas and Dogs with pointy ears

 are more susceptible to 

ear issues and infections.

I set the snoods down, 

and went to get the camera, 

Rosie jumped up on the steps, 

all ready to model.

Heart Dog Bandanna - Free Knitting Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

I Love This Bandanna Knitting Pattern,

which you can find HERE

I used the bandanna pattern,

 Stitching in a solid color yarn

instead of striped.

Then, I used this Graph Pattern.

I chose to use the stockinette stitch and 

a different color yarn for the heart.

I started the heart graph at R: 9, 

centering the heart in the 

center of the bandanna,

working from the top of the graph.

And it was really easy.

Rosie is wearing the medium size 

bandanna in grey and yellow.

Maximo is wearing a size small, 

in White and light blue.

This Bandanna has instructions for 3 sizes-

Small, Medium and Large

And it is perfect for any pet -

From Dogs, Cats, bunnies, Goats and Ponies

to any size Pet.

There are 2 ways you can add the heart.

The 1st one is to stitch the graph as you go,

 and another is to do the heart using the 

Duplicate Stitch

I prefer to knit the graph as I go, 

But I know there are also great 

reasons to do the duplicate stitch.

Please add this "Knit Pattern" to your 

Ravelry Favorites.

To answer a question,

If you do not want a rolled top on the bandanna 

you can stitch the top Rows,

R : 1 -6,  in garter st,

 But I really like the rolled top.

If you would like me to make you 

a custom made bandanna,

 Just contact me.

What colors will you make your

 heart bandanna?

and For What Pet?

Washcloth Pattern - Free Knitting Pattern for Beginners | Posh Pooch Designs

A Sweet Friend of mine that is learning to knit, 

 asked if I had a knit pattern for a washcloth.

She wanted more of a face cloth size, 

not a regular size washcloth.

I did not have one, only crochet ones.

I directed her to some knitting patterns

 but she wanted something a little smaller.

She gave me a crocheted one that was 

about the size she was looking for.

She said it is the perfect size

 for washing a baby.

Since she is a beginner,

 I designed a beginner wash cloth.

 It is nothing fancy

 and I am sure has been done before,

But this is what I came up with.

A 9 X 9.5 basic knit wash cloth

I loved it so much I made a 

bunch to put in my guest bathroom.

I tie pretty ribbon around them,

With a thank you note for guests.

They are the perfect size 

for taking off your makeup, 

washing your face, or washing a baby.

And for washing my furbabies.

Seed Stitch Headband Ear Warmer Free Knitting pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Seed Stitch Headband Ear Warmer.

I knitted the Variegated One First. and really love it.

 I added a little knitted bow with a fun button.

But when I began takings pictures, 

you could not see the the texture of the stitches.

I had some of  the Wool Ease - Fisherman yarn left 

and made another one, and used wooden buttons.

I love them both.

I think the yarn for the variegated headband is also wool Ease, 

but can not find the yarn label.

I purchased some wool Ease a few months back,

 and bought several different colors.

I put them all in a plastic tub together.

 I searched the tub and my yarn room, 

but can not find the lost label.

Ok For the pattern.
