April showers bring May flowers, so why not crochet this floral shell stitch collar for your dog this spring?

5. BowTie Collar
Want your dog to look distinguished? Just crochet them this bowtie collar! It’s made with worsted weight yarn and basic stitches, and it’s quite simple to change the sizing to fit your dog perfectly.
6. Conversation Hearts Collar
This conversation hearts collar is the perfect way to show the world how much you love your dog! Best of all, once you’ve learned to make the heart appliques, you can turn them into so many things, not just a collar—why not make a garland, a necklace, or a bookmark, like the designer suggests? You’ll only need to know basic stitches, and there’s a video tutorial to guide you through the whole project, so it’s great for beginner crocheters.
7. Button Dog Scarf
This scarf is a super stylish dog collar, and it even features my favorite notion—a button! I particularly love the bone-shaped buttons the designer used. For this project, you’ll need worsted-weight yarn, a button, and knowledge of easy stitches. And you can follow the written pattern, the video tutorial, or both.
8. Doggie Bow Tie
Here’s another version of a doggy bow tie collar. I love the stripes on this one! For this project, you’ll need sport weight yarn in two colors, a 4mm crochet hook, and knowledge of basic stitches. You’ll also want to measure your dog’s neck so you can make sure the band of the collar fits perfectly.
9. Blooming Dog Costume
If your dog loves to stop and smell the flowers, why not make them this fun floral collar costume? You’ll need worsted-weight yarn in two colors—green for the leaves and ties, and a second color of your choosing for the petals. Then make sure you know simple stitches and are comfortable checking the gauge of your project, and you’ll be ready to start crocheting!
10. Dog Bandana Collar Cover
Collars are fun, but some dogs prefer bandanas. This bandana is super easy to make, and it’s very convenient because it attaches to any dog collar you already own. As long as you have some worsted weight yarn and know basic stitches, this project will work up in no time.
11. Granny Stitch Dog Bandana
Here’s another dog bandana, this time a granny stitch version. For this project, you only need to know three stitches—the chain, the slip stitch, and the double crochet—so as long as you’ve got some worsted weight yarn on hand, it’ll work up quickly. There’s also a helpful video tutorial, and instructions for adjusting the collar’s size.
