How to Make a Scarf Bandana for your Dog.

Here's Lido modeling his new scarf that Sophia made for him.

This is an easy project to make for your favorite pup and most dogs don't mind wearing scarves!!! If you made a garment for yourself or your child and you have left over fabric, why not make an adorable matching bandana for your dog?

For small dogs cut a 14" square of your  fabric.  For medium size dogs cut a 18" square, for large dogs cut a 22" square, and for extra large dogs cut a 26" square.

Fold the square in half diagonally. Cut down the long end to form 2 triangles.

You only need one of the triangles.  Keep the other for another pet scarf, or stash it away in your fabric scrap pile, or make yourself a matching one.

I am sure that if you have bought one of these at a pet shop or on-line it is  a square, not cut in half like we are doing.  The reason we do this is to cut down the amount of fabric wrapped around your dog's neck.  We do not want him/her to be uncomfortable. 

Or two, fold the fabric up 1/4" and then 1/4" again to the ugly side, press, pin, and then top stitch.
