Crochet Christmas Candy Cane Dog Scarf

This adorable Christmas crochet dog scarf will make your furry friend look festive and extremely cute! I made this Christmas Candy Cane scarf for our Golden Retriever Lucy, who looks very attractive in it.

The red and white colors are very flattering to Lucy’s beautiful golden fur. When I look at her pictures, it is so funny for me to see her face expression. She takes her photo model job really seriously!

I found that crocheting for pets is really fun. Years ago I would never think that one day I would be crocheting for a dog. But dogs know how to steal our hearts and so we do for them things that we never imagined we might otherwise do.

After I made a pink dog bandana, Lucy received a huge number of compliments.  I made another bandana for her for Halloween, and she wore it on a couple of scenic hikes through trees with beautiful Fall colors.  

Now she has her own Christmas crochet dog scarf to try out over the next month!

Lucy really likes to wear her crochet bandanas which I made for her. She never chews on them or tries to pull them off.  As with me, she doesn’t wear her accessories all the time. 

I dress her up only for some short periods of time when we are going for a walk or when we have friends over.

This crochet Candy Cane dog scarf is made in red and white diagonal stripes and has asymmetrical ends.  

You can easily make this scarf longer or shorter by increasing or decreasing the number of repeat rows.

The scarf has also two buttons and is embellished with a tassel.

Notes:

1. Ch 1 at the beginning of each Row doesn’t count as a Stitch.

    2. How to change to a new color:

Work the final SC of the Row with the first color, but do not complete the Stitch. You will have 2 loops remain on the hook. Drop first color and draw through the loops on the hook new color and complete the Stitch.

    3. Do not cut off yarn when you switch to a different color, carry the yarn along the edge – see Picture below.
