This post was originally created for the Pet Appreciation Blog Hop, hosted by Jo’s Crafty Hook! 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 Wonderstruck Dog Cardigan!
If you’re new to crochet, you’ve probably heard that granny squares are a good place to start. That’s true, but they can get a little boring. These floral granny squares change that. You work them up a little differently than a traditional granny square, but they’re repetitive enough to easily memorize the pattern after you finish a few. Then, you can whip up as many as you need for your dog’s coat! Make them all exactly the same, or mix up the colors like we did and create a multicolored granny square dog coat for your best friend!
I always say that our dog Nacho is my favorite person to crochet for! I love making little coats, sweaters, and bandannas. It’s so much fun, especially when it’s such a customizable pattern. Making this coat is very simple. All you need to do is make a pile of squares, seam them together, add a belly band, and sew on a few buttons. You can choose any color combinations and size you like. You can also use these squares to make a blanket for yourself or any pet at all!
