The Ladder Headband Crochet Pattern and Video | Posh Pooch Designs

The Ladder Headband/ Ear Warmer
Free Crochet Pattern and Video
By Sara Sach of
 Posh Pooch Designs

I call it Both a headband and an Ear Warmer because it is wider then a traditional headband, but not quite as wide as an ear warmer, so it the best of both designs.

It's a Quick and Easy pattern, but looks classy When wearing it.

 Just takes about two ounces of any kind 

of Worsted Weight (4) yarn you have on hand.

The headband is stitched using 2 strands of yarn,

and I show you how to do that in the video.

If you want you could also use 1 strand of Chunky (5) yarn.

So there are so many possibilities for color and texture.

Then there is the buttons!

Paw Print Blanket is Pooch Approved

 I want to share with you all 

my Paw Print Blanket 

and how I made it.

This is not an official Crochet Pattern, 

but rather an explanation.

Maximo and Rosie love the blanket.

They prefer a Crocheted blanket 

over any other kind.

I have taught them well. 

This is what I did...

I used an H hook

4 colors of Red heart Super Saver Yarn.

Choc. Cherry variegated, Brown, 

cranberry and cream

First : I started with a paw print square graph, 

and made it into a granny square.

Secondly: I made 12 granny squares

 to go around the edges. 

I wanted the blanket a square, not a rectangle.

 Then I attached them all together.

Lastly, I added a trim of shells.

It was a very simple project and 

I think it turned out lovely. 

It is perfect for my window seat.

I Love how it turned out.
