It’s big and cuddly and ideal for the larger dog that likes to carry their toys around. For the smaller dogs, it could easily be used as a pillow or for company when their human has to be away.

Disclaimer: I would not recommend this toy for a dog who is an extreme chewer.

Pinterest Pin with a crochet dog toy shaped like a moon is sitting in a toy box on top of other dog toys. — **PIN FOR LATER**

Supplies Needed

Super Bulky #6 {I used Bernat Blanket Yarn}

Estimated yardage: 100 yds moon color; 20-30 yds hat color

US L (7mm) hook{I highly recommend Furls Streamlines}

Optional: small amount #4 black yarn for embroidered eye and mouth

Polyfil Stuffing

Large eye tapestry needle

SIZE:

12” long x 6” wide

SKILL LEVEL:

Advanced Beginner +

NOTES:

Using the super bulky makes an extremely big toy. Substitute a smaller weight yarn and hook size for a smaller toy.
This toy is recommended more for dogs who like to carry or cuddle their toys, not recommended for a heavy chewer.
Your circle may start to get wavy as you increase. Once you fold in half and stuff, the wave will go away.

An info-graphic for homemade dog treats with pictures of pumpkin, oats, peanut butter, and a white dog.

Homemade Dog Treats Ingredients

Disclaimer: Do not use peanut butter with xylitol, which is deadly for dogs!

For these very simple treats, you will only need 3 ingredients. Super easy!

1 cup old fashioned oats

1/3 cup pumpkin

1/4 cup all natural peanut butter

A whole lot of love–okay that’s technically 4 ingredients 🙂

Your dog will love these treats so much, maybe they will even do a special trick!

Make your pet a cartoon. Click the image below to find out how.

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Add oats to a food processor and blend to make flour. Some lumps are alright. In a bowl, add the processed oats, pumpkin, and peanut butter. Combine until dough forms.

Roll out dough with rolling pin and cut shapes with cookie cutters. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.

Cool on wire rack.

Place in an airtight container and store in refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. If your dog lets them last that long, “wink, wink”!

Enjoy!

Let me know in the comments if your dog loves these treats.

Hooded Tiger Blanket Crochet Pattern

This hooded tiger blanket holds a special place in my heart. While I tend to stick to dog-related designs, I’ve decided to share it to coincide with Give Something Away Day, on July 15th, 2021. Read on to find out why this blanket is dear to me, and how you can get a free download of the pattern.

“Giving benefits us all… The giver also benefits. Giving not only makes us feel good but it teaches gratitude, too. Whether we give financially or by offering our skills and services, we lift others up.”

How the Hooded Tiger Blanket Came About

A few years ago, I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a pattern for a child size Hooded Unicorn Blanket by BriAbby. You can find that pattern HERE.

My granddaughter absolutely adores unicorns, and I loved unicorns before they were cool. So, of course, the thought that popped into this grandma’s head, “This is the perfect Christmas gift for her.” I bought the pattern, got the yarn in all the pretty pinks and purples she loves, and made this beautiful unicorn blanket. Needless to say, she absolutely loved it.

A friend of the family, who played on a softball team with Tigers in their name, asked, “Can you make an adult sized, tiger one?” And my brain went, “Hmmmm.” And the Hooded Tiger Blanket was born. Oh, and that family friend adored the blanket.

Another reason the blanket is special

My son, Jesse, modeled the blanket for me in all the photos. He is autistic and socially distanced as most with this condition are. He keeps to himself and stays out of the limelight. Quiet frogs and turtles are more his scene, not loud, roaring tigers.

Can you say thrilled? That was me when he agreed to be my model. He had fun and was quite amused(as you can see from the smirk on his face) as I repositioned the blanket several times trying to get it just right for the photo. A cherished memory was made that day for both of us.

How this Hooded Tiger Blanket gave something to me

“Cha-ching” What a wonderful, musical sound. The Etsy App sound. If you are a handmade seller, you know what I’m talking about. The Hooded Tiger Blanket was my very first sale on Etsy in not one, but two shops. What are the odds of that?
