Jack O’Lantern Pumpkin Face Crochet Dog Bandana

Dog dressed in orange Halloween crochet bandana.

This crochet Pumpkin Face dog bandana is another Halloween accessory I designed for our golden retriever Lucy. I like to dress up our dog, and Halloween is a perfect holiday to do this!

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase from one of these links I will get a commission.

My previous crochet Halloween dog bandana is made in a triangular shape and just tied around the neck. It is also embellished with a crochet Spider applique.

This Pumpkin Face dog bandana is made as a collar that doesn’t require buttons or tying up, you just slip it over your dog’s head! 

This bandana is designed for a large size dog (our Lucy is about 62 pounds). You can adapt it for any size by adjusting the collar size and bandana width.

This dog bandana is easy to make and is also a great stash buster project as it requires a small amount of yarn.

If you like to crochet for your dog, make sure to check out my other patterns – pink dog bandana, Christmas dog scarf, flower dog headband and Christmas dog stocking! 

I also designed a heart-shaped Paw Print applique. Such an applique can be used as an embellishment of various pets’ items or your own items as well.

Note:

How to adjust bandana size

1.When you make the Collar, make fewer or more Rows depending on your dog’s neck size.

2. Bandana: in Row 1 of the Bandana work SC just a couple more stitches than half of the collar length. (My collar has 54 rows, half is 27, for bandana I made 31 SC). Make sure that you have uneven number of SC.

Instructions:

Collar

With Color A (leave beginning tail about 8-10” long), Ch 5;

Row 1. SC in 2nd Ch from the hook and in each of next 3 Chs – total 4 SC. Turn.

Row 2. Work in BLO. Ch 1, SC in each St across – total 4 SC. Turn.

Repeat Row 2 until you reach the size of dog’s neck. (I made 54 rows.)

Do not cut off, we will continue working on bandana.

After the last Row of the collar, do not turn – continue working along the long edge.
