Crochet pattern for a Dog Blanket - Basket Weave

After taking my Rosie Bell back and forth
 from the Doggie Doctor the last couple of weeks, 

I decided she needed a little blanket to sit on,

 instead of a towel. 
Towels can be rough and uncomfortable to sit on. So I decided to design a blanket that was just the size of the passenger

 seat in the car, with a little hang over.  
I wanted it made out of soft but 

durable yarn that could be thrown in the washer 

and dryer and still look good.

When I design I like to learn new stitches, 

so I decided to learn the basket weave stitch

 and incorporate it into the car blanket. 

The Basket Weave Stitch is basically

  Front Post Double Crochet

 and Back Post double Crochet stitched in blocks.

I practiced the stitch patterns several times before

 I made the blanket, and to make sure I could do it. 

Once I learned the pattern, It was easy.

12 Collars of Christmas - Pattern #7 "Retro"

I am very excited to share with you this weeks free collar pattern, 

it reminds me of The Brady Bunch, for some reason.

 I guess it's the colors. It kind of has a Art Deco feel to it.

 It is called "Retro".

Please remember these collars are for fun and decorative
 purposes only, and are not strong enough to attach your lead or leash to.

It is a little tricky with all the colors 

but once you do one, you will love it. 

and of course you can chose any colors you like! 

Bright pinks and greens would be pretty, too.
