Good to know

A crocheted bandana is a quick way to practice shaping: most start at one corner and grow row by row into a triangle. Measure the neck or head first and add a few centimeters for the ties.

Cotton yarn is breathable and washes well, which makes it a good choice for pets and for warm weather.

Hand wash, or use a gentle cycle inside a laundry bag, then dry flat. Add a snap or button if you want a closure that is easy to remove, and check regularly on pets wearing anything around the neck.
