Valentine’s Day Crochet Dog Bandana

Dog dressed in red bandana embellished with three hearts.

I made this crochet Valentine’s Day dog bandana for our lovely golden retriever Lucy. This bandana is easy to make and can be finished in one evening.

I love to dress Lucy up and have already made for her a pink bandana, a bandana for Halloween and a scarf for Christmas!

This year Valentine’s Day was very special for our Lucy. Two weeks before Christmas she had complicated surgery and had to spend two months wearing a dog cone collar with very limited physical activities.

On Valentine’s Day, Lucy’s vet allowed her to take the cone off and return to normal life! I quickly made this bandana for Lucy to celebrate her recovery!

Red bandana embellished with three hearts.

This Valentine’s Day dog bandana is made from cotton yarn and is embellished with simple heart appliques.

For this bandana I used the same pattern as for the original pink bandana I made for Lucy earlier. I just made different edging using two colors in a twisted pattern.

You will find instructions on how to make this edging below. Such edging, made in white and red colors, will be also perfect for Christmas.

Even though it has Valentine’s theme, we all love our dogs every day of the year, and so this heart-themed bandana has a special meaning all year round.
