Jump into the Ultimate Granny Square: Versatile and Fun

This post was originally created for the May Flowers Crochet Blog Hop, hosted by Stardust Gold Crochet. Now that the hop is over, we’ve transformed this page into a little appreciation post for the pattern we had featured in this hop – The Willow Dog Coat!

This little dog coat features easy-to-crochet floral granny squares, a simple tummy panel, and a scalloped edge. Beginners and seasoned crocheters alike will find these granny squares fun and addictive to make. You can quickly memorize the pattern and create a stack of them in no time.

I love making things for our dog Nacho, so naturally, I crocheted him a coat from these squares. You can create whatever your little heart desires out of them. They’d make a great blanket, shawl, or cardigan for yourself! Custom colours are really fun too. Switch up the base colour and leave the petals all the same, or switch up the petals and leave the base colour the same as we did with this one. There are no rules here!

The Willow Dog Coat is a fun and simple crochet project for your pet! Once you master the floral square, make as many as you need to create the right shape and attach! It’s for layering over a lighter sweater on chilly days or wearing alone.

The Willow Dog Coat is made entirely of granny squares with one simple panel across the tummy for stability. Essentially, the basic shape is the same for all sizes, requiring more or less squares depending on size.
