Dog Tissue Box Cover
This cover fits over 4 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ tissue box.
Materials:
Red Heart yarn. Beige (tissue box top and sides)
Cafe Latte (ears muzzle, and around eyes.)
Small amounts of black, white, and red for eyes, nose, and tongue.
You will need a 3.75 mm hook (F), 5 mm hook (H), and 5.5 mm hook (I)
Sewing needle and small amount of stuffing.
Abbreviations used:
sc=single crochet, ch=chain, sl st=slip stitch, sts=stitches, tog=together, rnd=round
For the cover, use I hook and Beige or color you would like your dog.
Sides: (Make 4)
Row 1: Ch 17, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn (16)
Rows 2-21: Ch 1, sc across, turn. At end of row 21, Fasten off. Leave long tail for sewing.
Top: (Make 1)
Row 1: Ch 17, sc 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn (16)
Rows 2-8: Ch 1, sc across, turn
The next 2 rows will be the opening for the tissues.
Row 9: Ch 1, sc in first 3 sts. Fasten off. Skip next 10 sts. Join beige with sl st in next st, sc in same st as sl st and in next 2 sts, turn

Join beige in any st on the opening. Slip stitch all the way around opening.
Now you will sew all the sides together using a whip stitch forming a box shape. Sew on the top with whip stitch with right side facing down. (This is the side where you slip stitched around the opening.) When you are done sewing you will turn it inside out so to speak so it is now right side out keeping all your whip stitching on the inside and your nice slip stitched opening will be on top. Place it over the tissue box. This will help when you sew on the dog parts.

Paw Print Bookmark
Paw print bookmark is a fun way to mark your page. It is 13″ long from paw print to heart. It can be made longer or shorter by making the connecting part longer or shorter. I have listed what colors I used but pick your own, have fun with it, and go wild if you like. It works up fairly quickly and doesn’t use much yarn. It’s great for scrap busting.

Place 2 hearts wrong side together. Sew together in back loops. Work until about 2 sts from the point of the heart. Insert 1/2″ of other end of bookmark section between the 2 hearts and sew through all three thicknesses. Continue sewing back up heart to beginning.
All done! Now go grab a really interesting book, cozy up in your favorite chair. When you get up to get your favorite snack, insert your bookmark to keep your place. I hope you enjoyed creating the Paw print Bookmark. Until next time, Happy Crocheting!

Dog Hat and Tie
Do you want your dog to be even more handsome than they already are. Maybe get some great photos for long term memories. Dress up your dog in these cute matching Top Hat and Bow Ties. Endless color possiblities. The pattern can be adjusted to fit different size dogs.
Bow Tie is attached to a neck cuff that slips over head and around neck. Hat has two ties to tie under chin. Directions are written for a 10″ head circumference with a 2″ measurement between ears, but will include how to make it bigger.
Materials:
–#4 worsted weight yarn in two colors (amount depends on size your making, smaller sizes are great scrap busters) MC=main color, CC=contrasting color
–US G (4mm) Hook or size needed to obtain gauge
–measuring tape
Gauge:
4 rounds of hat=2″
Abbreviations: US terms
ch=chain, sc=single crochet, st(s)=stitch(es), rnd=round, BL=back loops, FL=front loops, dc=double crochet, hdc=half double crochet
First, measure the space between your dog’s ears, this is how big you will make the circle which is the top of the hat. Remember 4 rnds of the hat equals 2 inches, which is the measurement of the plushie in the picture and for most chihuahua sized dogs.
Top Hat:
Do not join rnds. Use a stitch marker to mark 1st st of each rnd.
Rnd 1: With MC, ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook, or use magic circle [6 sc]
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around [12 sc]
Rnd 3: sc in next st, 2 sc in next st around [18 sc]
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st around [24 sc]
For bigger hats continue increase rnds. For example, next rnd would be sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st around. Increase until your hat diameter measured across equals your measurement between the ears.
Rnd 5:(or whichever rnd you’re on after increasing) Working in BL, sc around
Rnds 6-10: (again your rnd numbers may be different here) Working through both loops again, sc around
If you would like your hat taller, you can add rnds here.
Rnd 11: Working in FL, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st around [36 sc or more if you made the hat bigger]
Rnd 12: Working through both thicknesses again, sc around. Fasten off. Weave in end.
Optional: For decoration on the hat, with CC, make a chain long enough to fit around hat, sl st in first ch. Slip onto hat and slide down to brim.
Ties:
Turn hat upside down, join MC in a back loop on one side of hat. Chain the amount of chains needed to be able to tie hat under chin. Fasten off. Repeat on other side of hat.
Neck Cuff for Bow Tie:
Measure your dog’s neck for the bow tie. This is how many chains you will make for the neck cuff.
With MC, ch the amount needed for the measurement, dc in 3rd ch from hook, and dc in each ch across. You can fasten off here for smaller dogs. If you want the neck cuff wider, turn, ch 3, dc in each st across. Then fasten off. You can either sew the 2 ends together and slip cuff over dogs head or you can sew a snap or button on and fasten it that way.
Bow Tie:
Will be written as three sizes S{M,L}
Row 1: With MC, ch 25{35,45} skip 1st ch, *dc in next 3{4,5} chs, hdc in next 2{3,4} chs, sc in next 2{3,4} chs, hdc in next 2{3,4} chs, dc in next 3{4,5} chs, Rep from *, turn
Row 2: ch 1, *dc in next 3{4,5} sts, hdc in next 2{3,4} sts, sc in next 2{3,4} sts, hdc in next 2{3,4} sts, dc in next 3{4,5} sts, Rep from *, turn
Row 3: Rep row 2. Fasten off.
Leave tail for sewing. Fold tie in half lengthwise. Single crochet stitches should be in center of bow. Sew open end of bow together. Using a long piece of CC, wrap around center of bow several times. Secure. Leave remaining yarn for sewing bow to neck cuff. Sew bow to neck cuff.
Now have a nice long talk with your dog about the joys of cooperation. It might help to have the treats readily available. HaHaHa! Slip the neck cuff over their head. Put the hat on and tie under chin. Position the bow just right. Say SIT! Hurry and snap those pictures while you can. Then tag me on Instagram @timmelcrochet because I would love to see those photos.

Crochet Cowl Pattern for Dog
This post may contain affiliate links. If you click one, I may receive a small commission at no cost to you.
Are crochet cowls just for people? No way! Your pup wants to be warm when they venture outside as well, especially the small ones with short hair. It can also be worn inside as a fashionable accessory.
You can whip up this dog cowl in a short amount of time using your scrap yarn. I received some really cute mini skeins as a gift so I chose these coordinating colors I thought would look good on my fur baby, Abby.
One great thing about this pattern, you could modify it and make a cowl for yourself. How about a Doggie and Me Cowl?
My mini skeins did not have color names on them, but I would liken them to Dusty Lilac, Mustard, and Cream.
Materials
#4 worsted weight yarn up to 20 yds per color.
US-H hook (5mm)
Abbreviations Used: US Terms
ch=chain
dc=double crochet
sk=skip
sc=single crochet
rep=repeat
Gauge
10 sts x 5 rows=2″
Size
My finished cowl measured 14″ circumference with a width of 3″ (My dog is a Shih Tzu mix)
Notes
Ch 3 at beginning counts as a stitch
Measure your dog’s neck before beginning. You’ll want your starting chain to be at least 2″ longer. My dog’s neck measured 12″. I made the cowl 14″ for a looser fit.
This pattern calls for multiples of 7+5+3 for the starting chain. So my starting chain was 91(7×13) +5+3=99. So you can change the size by doing more or less multiples of 7. You can also change the width by doing more or less rows.
Three colors were used: Color A=dusty lilac, Color B=mustard, Color C=cream. You may also make it one color.
Instructions
With Color A, ch 99
Row 1: 2 dc in 4th ch from hook, *sk 3 ch, sc in next , ch 3, dc in next 3 ; rep from * to the last 4 ch, sk 3 ch, sc in last, changing to Color B, turn [42 dc, 14 sc, 13 ch-3]
Row 2: Ch 3, 2 dc in first sc, *sk 3 dc, sc in first ch of ch-3, Ch 3, dc in next 2 ch, dc in next sc; rep from * to last 2 dc, sk 2 dc, sc in tch, changing to Color C, turn [42 dc, 14 sc, 13 ch-3]
Row 3: rep row 2
Rows 4-6: rep row 2, continue the alternating color sequence {A,B,C}
Row 7: With Color A, rep row 2. Fasten off. Leaving long tail for sewing.
Sew 2 short ends together. Weave in end.
Hopefully, your dog will be more cooperative for pictures than my Abby was. HaHa! And if so, tag me on social media @timmelcrochet I’d love to see.

Dog Bandana St. Patrick’s Day
Why not dress up your handsome pup with this dog bandana for St. Patrick’s day? The handsome boy above is Oisin. Isn’t that the perfect Irish name?
Disclaimer: This blog post may contain affiliate links. If you click one, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your support.
You will need:
#4 medium weight worsted yarn in off-white and Kelly green {I used Caron Simply Soft}
US G hook (4 mm), H hook (5 mm)
Tapestry needle
Sew-on snaps
Tape measure
Abbreviation Used {US Terms}:
hdc=half double crochet
ch=chain
st(s)=stitch(es)
sl st=slip stitch
sc=single crochet
sk=skip
tr=treble crochet
dc=double crochet
Measure First
First, using a tape measure, measure around your dog’s neck in inches.
Next, with off-white, chain the number of stitches needed to measure 1-2” less then neck size. Remember, yarn stretches. Make it an odd number so you will end up with an even number of stitches.
Row 1: hdc in 2nd ch from hook, and in each ch across.(even number of sts) Fasten off.
Now hold up to dog’s chest and use stitch markers to mark a stitch on each side the width of the chest. Rejoin the yarn where 1st st marker is and continue with row 2.
Row 2: hdc in each st to the 2nd stitch marker, turn
Row 3: Ch 1,hdc first 2 sts together, hdc across to last 2 sts, hdc last 2 sts together, turn
You will repeat row 3 until you are down to 1 stitch. Fasten off. Weave in any ends.
Border
Join green in 1st st, Ch 1, sc evenly around working in chs, sts, and ends of rows with 3 sc in the point of bandana. Join with sl st in 1st st. Fasten off.

Shamrock
You will make 3 small hearts and sew them together to form the shamrock. Note: If making this for a small dog, you may need to use a thinner yarn or thread and smaller hook to make the shamrock small enough to fit on bandana.
For each:
With G hook, ch 4, (make all the next sts in the 4th ch from hook) 3 tr, 3 dc, ch 1, 1 tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr, ch 2, sl st. Fasten off.
Turn 2 hearts to wrong side. Sew together in back loops from heart point to 3-4 sts up side of heart. Add the 3rd heart and sew in same matter.
Join green where the 3 hearts meet. Ch desired amount for length of stem. For example, ch 7, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch, sl st where you began.
Sew the shamrock to your desired place on the bandana.
Sew the snap ends to each end of the 1st row. If you don’t have a snap, a 1/2 inch button can be used and buttoned through one of the stitches on the other end.
I hope you enjoyed making this bandana, and your dog looks as dapper as Oisin does in his. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
