While crocheting in my free time, I was learning new stitches from a stitch dictionary, and wanted a scarf. I got a little carried away with the soft plushy yarn, and before I knew it, the scarf was huge! I loved it, and made myself more, gifting some to others, and we still wear our chunky scarves to this day. I was so excited to finish this one in time to wear it while holding a balloon in the Annual Chuy's Children Giving to Children, Thanksgiving Parade, in Austin, Texas, it was the perfect warmth needed for that chilly, Fall morning walk.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, and happy crocheting!

Free Wrist Scarf, Dog Scarf Crochet Pattern

Try Wrist Scarves for that extra warmth and support on your wrists.

Great for that tiny bit of that Extraordinary yarn, or with other yarn scraps, this small pattern might be just that quick easy project that you have been searching for.

Scroll down to find my free, easy Tiny Scarf / Dog Scarf pattern.

Autumn brought a brief cold front, then quickly went back up to 90 degrees, but at a cool 72 degrees inside, wearing my WRIST SCARF around the house is feeling quite nice.

The rest of me is staying cool, while my wrist is warm, like a wrist warmer, but not as stretchy, with a fun scarf look.

Unlike the wrist warmers that stretch on, the wrist scarf loops over itself, not actually tying, and hangs for decorative purpose.

Suffering from carpel tunnels syndrome, my left wrist is constantly giving me pains, and the extra warmth and support of the wrist scarf feels fabulous! Not to mention the softness of the bamboo yarn against my skin feels wonderful. I have been wearing mine for days, and the hanging yarn surprisingly does NOT get in the way at all, except for water endeavors.

After all, here in Texas, we don't see enough cold to need more than a tiny scarf 😅

These were originally, and honestly, my Dog Scarf from 2011. I found a few left over from my 'Doggy Lovies' days, and this one, made of bamboo yarn, was too nice to go to waste. Trying it on, I liked it so much that I haven't wanted to take it off for days.

Below is a photo of my 1st furry scarf customer, wearing his Scarf.

Wrist Scarf / Dog Scarf Crochet Pattern

Written in US crochet terms.

Skill: Easy

Hook: G (4-4.25 mm)

Yarn: Small amount of worsted weight, size 4 yarn

Designer used a bamboo yarn by Hobby Lobby that was discontinued, but was replaced by

a new fabulous Hobby Lobby bamboo.

Stitch Key

BegDc: Beginning Double Crochet

Ch: Chain

Dc: Double Crochet

Flo: Front Loop Only

lp: Loop

Sc: Single Crochet

Sl st: Slip Stitch

Sp: Space

St: Stitch

Special Stitches

BegDc: Sc in st, ScFlo in sc just made = Dc (here for more on begdc st)

Begin

Ch 7

BegDc in 2nd ch sp from hook, Dc in remaining 5 ch sps, turn. (6 Dc)

BegDc in same sp as turning sp, Dc in remaining 5 ch sps, turn. (6 Dc)

Repeat last row for 52 more rows, for a total of 54 Rows, or for desired length, fasten off,

Add fringe;

Cut 20, 4 inch strands,

On each end of your scarf, loop 2 strands together in; first, last, and 3 middle sps, spreading evenly for your fringe. Cut evenly across.

I find 5 works better than 6, as 6 gets too full.

For the Dog Scarf, I would add a loop on the back, so you did not have to actually even fold it on its self or tie it.

To make a loop,

At about 1/3 from one end,

Join same color yarn with Post Sl st, Ch 10,

Join without stretching (laying flat) with Post Sl st to a dc about 5 sts up,

Fasten off, weave ends.

This loop can then be used to feed the other end thru, to give a break away dog scarf.

To wear as Wrist Scarf;

Wrap 2 x's around your wrist, feed one end thru the folds, hold one end with the hand it is wrapped around, and use other hand to pull the other end, and tighten. With this tightened, yarns like bamboo will stay put with no knot.

Hope that you enjoyed to Wrist Scarf/Dog Scarf Pattern by Doily Designs.

Funny story.

Back when I wrote this simple pattern, trying to make and sell my own designs, and just getting started in 2011, there was one other lady that I had found on the internet making Dog Scarves, at the time.

She was in California, and I was so curious how she made hers. I was going to order one, but she had this deal, that if you sent $5, she would make you what you got. I found this fabulous, and quickly sent her my $5. A few weeks later, I received an envelope, I excitedly opened it, and inside was the coolest small scarf! It was made of this fantastic variegated brown suede like material, and was made in several long rows, unlike mine, above. It was also quite a bit bigger than mine.

Little Crochet Witch

Witchet 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Little crochet witch, Witchet's Story....

Born under the September 2012 moon, Witchet was never invited to the Halloween Ball. All the other witches were afraid of her, for fact that she was so GHOSTLY pail, and plain.

She never smiled, and lacked emotions.

Picture below of Witchet, taken September 2024, when Witchet was spotted down by the web stream. . . . .

Our lonely, little Witchy poo lived a solitary life in a tree.

Every Autumn, Witchet would gather courage, come out, and try to join the other witches, as they prepared for the yearly Halloween Ball. But every time she tried, her lack of expression made them all afraid of her, and it didn't help that Witchet herself was filled with fear, and paralyzing doubt, too afraid to even smile, so sad.

Then one blazing hot Texas day, a mysterious Pumpkin fairy came and granted Witchet a special gift, a LOVE infused Pumpkin, with a smiling Jack-o-Lantern face. (seen below)

The little pumpkin was just what Witchet needed, as it give her the confidence to keep trying, and as she held the pumpkin close, a magical glow grew from in her heart, and began to give her sight thru new eyes, and the light shown thru a twinkle in her new eyes, and she glowed, and sparkled as she ran out to tell the other witches of her new found expressions.

Witchet was greeted by the other Witches, at the Halloween ball. Everyone loved Witchet's new look. Together, they all laughed, and danced the night away. 💝

Thank you for stopping by. Hope that you enjoyed the story of Witchet.
Best wishes, happy crocheting,
and
Happy Halloween!
