Look at the fabulous job my testers did in creating such colorful washcloths using just an inch of color.

Thank you Connie Adams, Christina Anderson, Beth Bjerkle, Klarisse Cifra-Torres, Linda Gibson, Brucene Plass, and Amanda Suder for your colorful version of my Just an Inch of Color Washcloths Crochet Pattern.

The Just An Inch of Color Washcloths Crochet Pattern uses #4 ply Cotton Weight Yarn. Using cotton yarn is a great way to save money on washing supplies. Cotton Yarn also washes up nicely in the washer and dryer.

Vee Tee Crochet Pattern

The inspiration behind the Vee Tee Crochet Pattern was creating an easy one row repeat that makes the Vee Tee work up quickly. I also wanted to create a tee that had less sewing, I am not a fan of sewing.

The one row repeat is a very easy group of stitches that create the Vee Stitch. All it is is (dc, ch 1, dc) all in one space. That’s it.

The Vee Tee Crochet Pattern calls for a lightweight cotton yarn that makes this a perfect top that you can add to your Summer Wardrobe.

Tuxie Keyhole Scarf Crochet Pattern

The Tuxie Keyhole Scarf Crochet Pattern came to be because I was watching a friend’s dog, Tuxie, for a few days. He’s a small dog and he was always shivering.

So, I decided to make him something to keep him warm and make him more adorable too. You can crochet the Keyhole Scarf to accessorize your woof-ing dog and make a purr-fect accessory for your cat.

I love celebrating our pets and showing them as much love and appreciation for them. The Tuxie Keyhole Scarf Crochet Pattern is another new release of mine that will be featured in my 2024 Pet Appreciation Blog Hop on May 21, 2024.

Me and 15 other fabulous crochet designers are sharing FREE crochet patterns daily they designed just for Pets at my 2024 Pet Appreciation Blog Hop.

Information Needed

Materials:
75-200 yards of #4 Worsted Weight Yarn
US H or 5mm Crochet Hook
Tapestry Needle
Scissors

Abbreviations/Stitches Used:
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
ch = chain
st = stitch
sk = skip

Notes:

there are 3 sizes to choose from: Small, Medium, and Large
the scarf can be customized to fit your pet perfectly

Gauge:
US H Hook or 5mm Crochet Hook
12 st x 12 rows = 4”
due to different thickness of yarn, you may need to go up or down a hook size to meet gauge)

Gauge Swatch:
R1: ch 13, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next st, *sc in next st, hdc in next st. rep from * across. ch 1, turn (12 st)

R2-R12: *sc, hdc in next st. rep from * across. turn (12 st)

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.
