Dog Coat

Spring is definitely on its way – daffodils are starting to pop up – but the weather can still be a little chilly at times. Short-furred and skinny dogs can often feel the cold, so why not put your hook to use crocheting sweet little coats for them? Just look how cosy that pup is.

Dog Ball

Here are some fun balls to play fetch with – they have an easy-to-grip texture, and you can also add a bell, rattle or squeaker inside for extra interest.

⠀

Just remember, as with all toys for pets, don’t use buttons or plastic parts. Select a sturdy yarn, and crochet a tighter gauge than usual to prevent any of it from being ingested by rambunctious pups.

Bunny Toy

Not only is Rupert the bunny exceedingly cute, he’s actually quite simple to make, using only double crochet stitches throughout with a clever invisible decrease (although you could use a standard dc2tog if you prefer). The limbs are attached while you work, which means there’s very little sewing up to do at the end.
