Materials

#4 worsted weight yarn up to 20 yds per color.

US-H hook (5mm)

Abbreviations Used: US Terms

ch=chain

dc=double crochet

sk=skip

sc=single crochet

rep=repeat

Gauge

10 sts x 5 rows=2″

Size

My finished cowl measured 14″ circumference with a width of 3″ (My dog is a Shih Tzu mix)

Notes

Ch 3 at beginning counts as a stitch

Measure your dog’s neck before beginning. You’ll want your starting chain to be at least 2″ longer. My dog’s neck measured 12″. I made the cowl 14″ for a looser fit.

This pattern calls for multiples of 7+5+3 for the starting chain. So my starting chain was 91(7×13) +5+3=99. So you can change the size by doing more or less multiples of 7. You can also change the width by doing more or less rows.

Three colors were used: Color A=dusty lilac, Color B=mustard, Color C=cream. You may also make it one color.
