Freyja Pet Cowl Crochet Pattern

Inside the Frejya’s Cowl Crochet Pattern you will find 4 sizes to choose from.  This crochet pattern can be used for any pet, not just a dog.  This pet cowl crochet pattern is mainly based on the size of your pet’s neck and how much you want to customize it. I do have suggested sizes below that you can use to make the cowl. 

I absolutely love my son’s dog Freyja!  She loves to wear accessories!  So I have been designing a lot of crochet patterns to add to her accessories.

Freyja Pet Cowl Crochet Pattern

 

Special Notes:

• There are 2 sections to the design.  The Shawl and the Cowl

• The shawl height may need to be adjusted depending on your pet’s body size.  Too many R4 repeats may cause the shawl part to be too long.

•  The cowl width may also need to be adjusted depending on your pet’s neck circumference.  

• There are special instructions for the cowl circumferences below.

 

Shawl

R1:  ch 2, (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) all in 1st ch 1. turn

R2:  (alt ch 2 or ch 3, 2 dc) all in same st.  dc in next 2 sts (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) all in ch-3 sp.  dc in next 2 sts, 3 dc in last st.  turn

R3:  (alt ch 2 or ch 3, 2 dc) all in same st.  ch 1 *ts rep until ch- 3 sp (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) all in ch-3 sp.  triad st until last st.  3 dc in last st.  turn (6 ts)

R4:  (alt ch 2 or ch 3, 2 dc) all in same st.  *ch 1, ts st over next 3 st, ts into next ch-1 sp of previous row, in next st, and in next ch-1 sp of previous row.  rep from * until last dc before ch-3 sp, sk next st.  (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) all in ch-3 sp. ch 1 *ts rep until last dc.  3 dc in last dc. turn (10 ts)

Rep R4 until your shawl measures 2” 6” 8” 10” across the turning rows of shawl or until you reach your desired size.

Each Row will increase by 4 triad stitches

Note:  the shawl measurements below are for ½ the circumference of your pet’s neck.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Cowl 

Cowl Circumference:
Miniature 4”  Small 6”  Medium 8”  Large 10”
Cowl Height from bottom point of shawl:
4” 6” 8” 10”

 

  Step 1:
sc evenly across the turning rows of shawl being sure to sc in each st, and side posts of dc.  be sure to end with an even number.

sc evenly across turning rows

Note:  you may need to measure your pet’s neck to reach your desired circumference.  The stitch count below may need to be adjusted.

Step 2:
It might be a good idea to check your chain count before you start R1, you may need to adjust the chain count below to fit the circumference of your pet’s neck.

 

ch 13 (25, 36, 48).  sl st in 1st st to join.

R1: ch 4, *ts around, being sure to go into the ch as well.  sl st in ch 3 of the ch 4 to join.  do NOT turn

R2: ch 4, *ts around.  sl st in top of ch 3 of the ch-4 sp to join.  do NOT turn

Repeat R2 until you reach the desired height of the cowl.
