Sorry for the delay in posts, but the Reese family grew one furry little member this week.
Meet Duke!
Duke is all ours! We are having a lot of fun together. He's about 87% potty trained, he looks like a muppet, and acts like a cartoon character. We are so in love!
Naturally, I needed to make him a cute little dog scarf [Baby, It's Cold Outside!] I saw one of these in a fancy pet store in D-Town Portland a couple weeks ago, and gave it a go.
So here we go! A four-step super easy fleece [easily washable] scarf for your pup!
What you will need:
1/3 Yard of Fleece
Scissors
That's it.
[Step One] Cut your fleece. I used a scrap piece of fleece I had left over from a headband. Duke has a tiny little head and neck, so I measured the circumferance (distance around) his neck plus at least four inches to hang off each side. So for this little guy, it was 12 inches plus 8 inches for 20 inches long.
For smaller dogs, use about 6 inches for the width. Adjust for the size of your dog.
So I cut my fleece 6" x 20".
[Step Two] Time to cut the fringe. Fold your piece in half, and cut even strips. If you left 4" hanging room like I did, make your cuts about 2" - 3"
[Step Three] Cut a little slit about 1/3 of the way up the end of the scarf. Think of it this way: your scarf has three parts. Two parts hanging/fringe and One part around the neck. So your cut needs to be at the end of the first third:
[Step Four] Pull one end of the scarf through the little hole you just cut:
[Unofficial Step Five] Put that scarf on your pup!

Ok, back to the puppy.
