Elf Stripes Crochet Dog Bandana Pattern (4 Sizes)

Worked from the tip up into a soft, shallow triangle, the bandana sits comfortably on your dog’s chest without hanging too long or pointy.

Simple rows of single crochet create a squishy, knit-like texture, while bold red and white stripes give it a candy-cane look that’s perfect for winter walks, Christmas photos, and holiday gatherings.

A playful green ruffle and two sturdy neck ties finish the look, so you can adjust the fit for your dog.
