Annie is our 1st rescue dog. Annie has been just the most loving, cheeky, independent bundle of energy to come into our home. And she is the inspiration for the Annie Bandana.
August 3rd – Raleigh Dog Blanket from MadameStitch
This blanket is named after one of my son’s rescue dogs. Raleigh was the perfect companion and such a special part of his family. She recently passed away and I’ve dedicated this beautiful blanket to her memory.
Along with outgrowing his pug puppy sweater, he has also outgrown the cardboard box he claimed as his bed the day we brought him home. I got a bigger cardboard box and some fleece I had in my fabric bin and made him a new bed. Now he never wants to leave it!
Imagine a cute little Axolotl aka the Mexican walking fish shaped like a donut. This is a beginner friendly amigurumi crochet pattern with easy step-by-step picture crochet tutorials.
August 6th – Sweet Pea Dog Sweater from TimmelCrochet
The Sweet Pea Dog Sweater has that and more with its soft and stylish faux fur trim. Made with little dogs in mind, this sweater keeps them comfortable all through the chilly seasons.
Today I am delighted to present the Puppy Placemat pattern. You probably know that I am a long-time small doggy Momma. I had a pack of 3 Shih Tzus for many years. Biscuit was my first puppy; he lived from 2006-2022 and was bossy and hilarious. Bonzai lived from 2007-2021 and was derpy and very loving. Lucy was our “baby dog” and lived from 2011-2023. She was our most well-behaved and kept us laughing every day.
For crafters, the lion is a common theme and so much fun to make. I recently made a Lion Toy for my pug Bruno. He loves to play tug of war, so I added a handle to the bottom of a lion to make his favorite game easier on me.
Does your cat/pet like to swat or throw things around the house? Do they like to curl up on your laptop while you are writing a blog post? lol Do they like curl up on your clothes, your current WIPs, clothes or anything else of yours they can find? Then this is purr-fect for any pet to play with or even cuddle up with.
I designed the Lumina Bandana, this crochet dog bandana pattern, for my rescue pup and it comes in 6 sizes so you can make one for yours or make a bunch to donate to dog shelters, too!
This sweet little amigurumi dog pattern was inspired by my parents’ Cocker Spaniel and just like him, Dusty is a very playful and loving companion who is always there for you.
Meet “Nellie” … the newest addition to our family. We rescued her from a shelter about a month ago and she’s already stolen our hearts!
Nellie’s wearing the “Imagination Pet Bandana” that I designed the day I found out we were accepted to become her new family!
My son loves anything to do with Norse History, this is why he named his dog Freyja. Ever since she was a puppy I loved to make things for here and dress her up, my son even started asking me to make things for her. lol So I decided to design something that relates to Nordic History and Freyja’s name.
August 18th – Heart Stealer Pet Blanket from Vivacrochet
Our cats are our kids! Nay, strike that! they are our grand kids!!!! We thought we were dog people until the cats decided to adopt us!! It all started one October morning some 9 years ago , when our community cat decided to have her litter in our garden! We were their servants!
This Crosshell Granny Bandana has 3 sizes to choose from. The crochet pattern uses a combination of the Granny Stitch and the Cross Stitch. The elegant bandana is finished with a beautiful edging.
August 21st – Busy Bee Hua Headwarmer from TimmelCrochet
Do you want to keep your chihuahua(small dog) warm and have fun at the same time? Or give a fun dog gift to a loved one or friend? Then this pattern is for you. Stripes, antennae, wings. This Busy Bee Hua Headwarmers has it all.
Pets can seem like part of the family. My son rescued some kittens from his job site and called me upset, asking if I wanted a kitten. I was hesitant, but as soon as he took her out of his jacket, softy that I am, it was all over for me. lol
Batty was my bestie’s (@cherumanalil) furry baby. He was the most patient pup (though his mumma said otherwise sometimes), amazing with my bratty human kids.
Thank you all so much for supporting these fantastic designers. They shared their heartfelt and stories behind the designs for why they designed their crochet patterns that they added in the Pet Appreciation Blog Hop!

Last year the Getty Museum challenged people to recreate famous works of art. The results were sometimes amazing, sometimes hysterical. I decided to try my own recreation using crochet. Turns out, one of the biggest challenges was finding a famous painting that looked easy enough to duplicate in yarn but still appealed to me visually. I wanted something colorful to cheer me up on these dreary days. Settling on one of Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings, I rummaged through my yarn stash to find the appropriate colors.
These Flower Blossom Earrings are worked in the round and only consist of 3 rounds. They are quick to make and very fashionable. These earrings also take very little yarn to construct.

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.

I wanted to talk to you about a taboo subject that most people don’t like to talk about, Menstrual Awareness. During the months of March to May there are quite a few organizations out there that try and spread the word about this taboo subject. These organizations talk about menstrual hygiene and spreading awareness for young girls, just like the girls below need to hear about.

One of the organizations I want to talk to you about started the Yarn for Menstrual Health campaign, but first I wanted to share a little bit about my story as a young girl.
I wish this was a topic we talked about when I was a young girl. I started my menstrual cycle when I was 12 years old. This was not a topic talked about in my household, even though there were over 10 women in it. While I was away at camp I started my period. I had NO idea what was happening or how to deal with it. I was so afraid to talk to anyone about it or even go to the nurse to find out how to handle it. For my first period I used toilet paper the whole time, this was not very hygienic to say the least.
The week at camp was not an experience I remember fondly. The whole time I was so scared! I was afraid everyone would make fun of me if they found out. The whole time I was there all that ran through my mind was what is happening to me? Does it show? Did I use enough toilet paper? Was I bleeding through my clothes?
As a 12 year old girl in 6th grade I didn’t know how to handle it at school either. My mom wrote a note to my teacher asking if I could go to the restroom by myself so I didn’t have to take care of it in front of other girls. Not only was this embarrassing enough, but the 6th grade teacher was a man! In 6th grade all toilet stalls did not have a door, so there was no privacy. I was terrified, not wanting anyone to know what was happening to me.
I know there are girls out there that are going through the same things I did. I know there are others who probably have it worse because they are in situations where they can’t get a hold of or afford the needed supplies. I know when I was 12 I had no clue these things even existed!

Yarn for Menstrual Health Campaign
So let’s talk about Yarn for Menstrual Health campaign. A woman named Haseeta together with Morines Shop and the African Girl Foundation started this campaign. It was created to bring awareness about the unhygienic circumstances most school girls across Kenya endure during their menses. She along with the ladies in her group had pledged to make 1,000 hats to be distributed by the African Girl Foundation where they will also distribute menstrual packs to various schools in 2021.
Their aim is to normalize conversations on menstrual health. Similarly, they are raising funds to equip everyone in need with reusable sanitary kits. These sanitary kits cost $10 and consists of 4 reusable pads and washing soap to last an entire year. How awesome is this?!
Not only is menstrual hygiene an issue in Kenya, but this is an issue young girls in the US face as well. Some schools are starting to talk to girls about menstrual hygiene and how to prepare them on how to handle it. But this is still a subject no one likes to hear about.
Poverty, no matter where it is at, plays a huge roll in menstrual hygiene. Most young girls and women can’t afford to purchase the sanitary products they need because of the expense. Some women are having to decide whether to buy sanitary products or food. How awful would it be if you or your child had to choose one of these options?
To help bring awareness to young girls and women, there are many great organizations out there that are trying to raise awareness about menstrual health and hygiene. The Yarn for Menstrual Health is one of these great organizations. You can find out more about this campaign at the link below.
Here in the US, you can find more information about menstrual hygiene at everydayhealth.com and sanitary ways to handle periods for young girls and women.
