Big Dog Bandana by PapioCreek Crochet
The Big Dog Bandana Crochet Pattern is for the big guys, the giant breed dogs. Surprisingly, this pattern uses less than 100 yards of 100% cotton, worsted weight yarn.
Instead of being tied around the dog’s neck, the Big Dog Bandana is designed to slide onto the dog’s collar. This slide on design cuts down on bulk around the dog’s neck and makes for a more comfortable bandana.
