Crochet for your pets!
The Preppy Puppy Bandana is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern that's perfect for your puppies and your feline friends, too - well, at least those that will let you dress them! While there are 4 sizes listed, you can follow the instructions to make it fit a much wider variety of necks - just stop increasing when you have the size desired!
The moss stitch is our stitch pattern of choice here, and it creates a lovely texture and movement in any number of colors. While it has great drape, it's also solid enough to add an applique if you'd like to personalize your pet's new scarf even further!
