After crocheting the Well Dressed Dog Coat, I had some leftover yarn – just enough to make the Well Dressed Cowl! Gorgeous separates, they make the perfect pair for any pet lover!

If you have made (or are going to make!) the Well Dressed Dog Coat in Small or Medium, you’ll have just enough yarn left over to make the Well Dressed Cowl! If you have a larger dog (or no dog), or prefer a longer cowl or infinity scarf style, then you’ll want to start with 3 new balls of yarn.
This cowl is soft, cozy, looks great, and is quick to crochet – which is a good thing, because as soon as you wear yours, you’ll start getting requests for more!

I love the way Lion Brand New Basic 175 looks with these classic stitches – and the way the stitch pattern opens itself up to all sorts of colors schemes. Alone or together, these patterns are easy to make, fun to wear, and wonderful to give. I hope you enjoy the free crochet Well Dressed Cowl pattern!

I tried to make the well dress dog coat but the increases at the beginning just didn’t happen – can you suggest another way to explain your pattern?
Tamara Kelly
I’m sorry to hear you had trouble, would a chart help?
Pam Ford
Hi there, I have just started crocheting the well dressed dog coat but am finding the instructions confusing.. On row 2 it says 2dc between previous and next stitch – does that mean 2dc in the next stitch after you have skipped two stitches? If so, I only end up with 20 stitches and not 30. Am I supposed to chain one after each 2dc? It doesn’t say so. Any help would be appreciated. I am not new to crocheting but am following the instructions as stated.
Many thanks
Pam
Tamara Kelly
Hi Pam! You crochet between the posts themselves – as if there was a ch 1 sp there to crochet into, though there is not. Does that make sense?
Dawn SimpSon
When you dc into the last st, is that the top of the chain 3, or the stitch before the chain 3? I’m easily confused because some pattern authors consider the chain as the last stitch in a row and others don’t count it.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Dawn! Yes, the ch-3 counts as a stitch here, so you will crochet into it as a stitch. 🙂
Dawn Simpson
When you dc in the last st, is that the top of the chain 3, or the last dc? also, did you do a sc border on the long sides?
Thank you!
Tamara Kelly
It is the ch-3. And yes, there is a border, I can’t believe I forgot to write that part in! I’ll add it now, but as you say, it’s just sc. 🙂

Tamara,
Please send me a chart as I am a beginner and so confused.
Can’t wait to start working on the dog sweater.
Kind Regards,
Kenzie

I’m afraid I don’t have a chart for this pattern – but there is a small one for the dog coat! What part has you confused, I’d be happy to help if I can! 🙂
