Flower Pet Collar Crochet Pattern

Flower Pet Collar Crochet Pattern

The Flower Pet Collar Crochet Pattern is a fast and easy design that can be easily customized to fit any sized pet.  When my son’s dog was a pup, he started to put scarves and shirts on her to make her look pretty.  He asked me to make a scarf for her. 

Now I can’t stop designing accessories for her.  I even started designing things for my cat Maze because I couldn’t leave her out from looking pretty. 

Inside this crochet pattern you will find a crochet pattern for the Collar and a crochet pattern for a Flower.
