Pet Bandana Free Crochet Pattern

Pet Bandana Free Crochet Pattern

Today I want to share with you the Pet Bandana Free Crochet Pattern.  Doesn’t my Maze look beautiful wearing her bandana?

Pets can seem like our babies and part of the family.  You add accessories to your outfits and your family’s outfits, so why not accessorize your pet as well with the Pet Bandana.  Use your scrap yarn and make these in every color of the rainbow.  The pet bandana free crochet pattern has 3 sizes you can choose from.

 

My beautiful kitty, Maze was a rescue.  My son worked in a factory that used heavy machines and equipment.  My son knew how much I loved animals, so he called me upset telling me what happened and asked me to take her in because she was starving.

My hubby wasn’t too happy with me at the time, As soon as he seen my son holding her his heart melted and he fell in love with her!  Maze is more his cat than mine, but she is loved and appreciated just the same.

My Maze, and I am sure your pet too, brings me so much comfort and joy.  She curls up in my lap and as soon as I touch her, my heart just melts.  I pray your pets sooth you as they burrow into your hearts as well.

Freyja Nordic Necklace

The Freyja Nordic Necklace Crochet Pattern is one of those crochet patterns that you can customize from what it was originally designed for.  A little farther below you will see it how my testers customized theirs using thinner yarn for a person’s necklace; or used for a Hat Band; or used for a Wrist Band; or used for a Cat & Dog Necklace using both DK Weight and Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn.

So, why not even try different thicknesses of yarn to make yourself one!  You will find a free crochet pattern of the Freyja Nordic Necklace below.

 

 

The Freyja Nordic Necklace Crochet Pattern came to be because my son loves anything to do with Norse History.  That is why he named his dog Freyja.  Ever since she was a puppy I loved to dress her up.  My son even started asking me to make things for Freyja lol.  So I decided to design something that relates to Nordic History and Freyja’s name.  This is how I came up with this design.

More Lilac Cluster Stitch Crochet Patterns

I created this crochet stitch when I designed my Lilac Cluster Beanie and Lilac Cluster Cowl crochet patterns.  The original version of the Lilac Cluster Stitch is worked in the round.  You can find both of these crochet patterns at my Ravelry or LoveCrafts Stores.

 

Lilac Cluster Stitch Video Tutorials

The Lilac Cluster Stitch uses 2 main crochet stitches, the FPDC3TOG or the front post double crochet 3 together and the FPDC6TOG or the front post double crochet 6 together.

You can find a Left Handed Video Tutorial on my YouTube Channel for my Lilac Cluster Beanie Part 1 and Part 2, that shows you how the Lilac Cluster Stitch was originally used.

You can also find more of my Left Handed Video Tutorials on my YouTube Channel.

I always wanted to use the lilac cluster stitch in a design that works in rows.  The first crochet pattern I tried with the Lilac Cluster Stitch with rows was the Oyster Shell Scarf.  I loved using this stitch in rows so much that I had to make another crochet design with this crochet stitch!

History behind the Design

The design came about because I have had an Afghan my Gram started over 25 years ago using a flower she designed.  In 2022 I finally decided to take one of her flowers apart from her Afghan.  I wanted to see how she made it so I could finish her Afghan. 

Because I loved her flower design so much that I decided to create the Maes Flower crochet pattern.  I was able to finish my Gram’s Afghan.  Also, my Gram’s Afghan was so easy to put together, that I decided to create another crochet, which I then turned into the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan crochet pattern in honor of my Gram.

You can find the Mae’s Flower Crochet Pattern that I designed using these flowers free HERE on my website.
