Size: Fits a 9 inch dog neck
3 chs = 1 inch
Getting Started:
The first thing you need to do is measure your dog's neck LOOSELY.
To adjust the pattern to your dog's neck - Your dog's measurement X 3 + 5 chs For example - (9 X 3)+5 chs =32 so cha 32 chs for a 9 inch neck
To adjust for length - You will also need the Length measurement:
from the crown of your dog's head, down the back of their head , to the collar.
You will add additional rows for more length.
Pattern:
NOTE:- neck measurement + 7 inches = how long
your ch should be.
( example Maximo's neck is 10 inches + 7 inches = 17 inches.
R:
1 - Starting at the hood, Ch for your dog's measurement,
see note:, join in a
circle, being careful not to twist the ch, ch 3
R:
2 - 1 dc in each ch around, join with a sl st, ch 3
R: 3 - 1 dc in the 1st dc, *1 fp dc in the next
dc,
1 dc in the next st, repeat from * around, join, ch 3
R: 4 - 1
dc in each st around, join, ch 3
R: 5 – R: 7
- Repeat R 4
R: 8 - (decrease rows) 1 dc in the 1st 4 sts,
*1
dc dec with the next 2 sts, 1 dc in the next 4 sts, Repeat from * around ,
join, ch 3
R: 9 - Repeat R: 8
Repeat
R: 8 until you have decreased to your dog's neck measurement .
(Maximo's
was 10 inches, so I decreased to 10 inches)
