Special Notes:
Because there are so many different sizes of cats and dogs, the pattern is easily customized.
To easily customize the fit to your pet, measuring their neck size would be a great help for you to figure out the perfect fit to it.
Because this is a scarf, if you are customizing it, I suggest measuring between their ears to the bottom of their chest and doubling the measurement.
A helpful tip is to remember the even st is the hdc and the odd st is a sc
Below are 3 suggested sizes.

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.

The Caiden Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern is one of my Handmade Crocheted Creations designs that is near and dear to my heart. I was so blessed in taking part in the raising of my niece. She was the 1st baby where I got to listen to every coo and cry; hear her 1st words spoken; watching her 1st steps; and growing up to be a beautiful person inside and out.
Every stitch, every row, all the trials and tribulations with the design were an outpouring of my love for my niece, her husband and of course her baby.
My niece and her husband had been trying for years to have a baby. There were many prayers prayed; so many things that they had to endure. Finally, after almost 10 years of trying they were blessed with a baby boy, Caiden.

The Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan was designed with love and appreciation for the people who influence us with our love of crochet and for the legacy they leave behind.

In this post, I am sharing a FREE crochet pattern of the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan.
Story Behind the Design
Thank you for your interest in my Mae’s Flowers Crochet Pattern. This is a project that has been in the works for over 25 years. My gram started making these flowers for an Afghan back in 1994. I inherited the Afghan when she passed away about 20 years ago. It moved from house to house, taken out every once in a while, and I always said I was going to finish it and I have.
I decided I would write out the steps she did and turn it into a crochet pattern. I took the flowers apart to learn the stitches she used, so I could make my own. This pattern is dedicated to Gram. She was a very important part of my life. I hope you enjoy making the Mae’s Flowers too!
