Usually I am careful to use my time productively. Today I spent an hour crocheting a scarf for my dog. In a hounds-tooth pattern, of course. Though it won’t keep him especially warm, he does look dapper in it.
Main Body
With red, ch 82 (or any multiple of 3, plus 1 turning chain)
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, (dc in next ch, sc in next ch) across: 41 sc and 40 dc
Row 2: With black, sl st in first sc of row 1, ch 3 (counts as dc here and throughout), (sc in next dc, dc in next sc) across, change to red: 40 sc and 41 dc
Row 3: With red, ch 1, sc in first dc, (dc in next sc, sc in next dc) across: 41 sc and 40 dc
Row 4: Pick up black by pulling loop up through first sc of row 3, ch 3, (sc in next dc, dc in next sc) across, change to red, fasten off black: 40 sc and 41 dc
Row 5: Ch 1, sc in first dc, (dc in next sc, sc in next dc) across: 41 sc and 40 dc, finish off.
Fringe (Optional)
For each row end, cut three pieces of the same color yarn measuring about 4″ each. Fold all three in half together. Insert hook around post of row end, pull folded end of yarn through, and pull out all the ends through the loop.

Raider looks rather dapper in his new scarf! Love the color on him. Think I'd better make one for my little Joey.

He looks like a dog model. Every picture of Raider makes me smile. Good pictures of both dog and precious little girl.
So adorable. It looks great on both dog and child!

Absolutely adorable and Raider does look so handsome in his houndstooth scarf. Love your little crocheted hearts and embellished cards too. Happy day to you. Best wishes, Tammy
Handsome and humble are how I would describe your obedient model. He is so cute, along with your little grand and your scarf is beautiful!
I think Raider looks dapper and distinguished in his scarf. So cute! Joni
How very precious Raider looks. Cute pic of little Ella too. She looks very fond of Raider also!
That is too cute! I don't think it's frivolous to spoil a dog. 🙂
No pets here! You gdau looks like an angle in the scarf! 🙂
Very cute on both!!:) I don't any stitch work except on the sewing machine, but I sure appreciate others' talents!:)
Have a great rest of the weekend!

I think that was a very productive hour. Raider looks quite handsome in his scarf. Believe it or not I was thinking of making a scarf for Duke also.
Thanks for the mention. Much appreciated.
A terrific use of time, but I think you need to make another. The pictures are the best!
