Happy National Dog Day…

Today is National Dog Day. . If you have hung around  Beatrice Ryan Designs. .. You know how much Charlie loves to have his picture taken… He is modeling my latest free pattern. . Ombre Ridges Scarf.. Maybe he isn’t so excited about the modeling gig… but loves the camera!!!

Since it’s National Dog Day, it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate our furry companions like Charlie, who is clearly a fan of the camera! If you’ve spent any time with Beatrice Ryan Designs, you already know how much Charlie loves to have his picture taken. He’s currently modeling the latest free pattern, the Ombre Ridges Scarf, showcasing not only his charm but also his love for the spotlight. While he might not be thrilled about the modeling gig, he certainly loves the camera!

Services like dog grooming training options in Kentucky can complement this by enhancing how Charlie and other dogs look and feel. Grooming training programs focus on teaching dogs to be comfortable with handling, brushing, and even posing for photos. This can make Charlie’s modeling experiences more enjoyable by ensuring he’s groomed and well-behaved, ready for the camera at a moment’s notice. Groomers in Kentucky offer specialized techniques that help dogs relax during their grooming sessions, making them more cooperative when it’s time to get dressed up or pose for pictures. By combining training with regular grooming, dog owners can ensure their pets feel confident and comfortable, allowing them to shine in every photo op, just like Charlie.

Happy National Dog Day with Charlie

My two favorite things. .. Crocheting and Charlie! !

Happy Crocheting!

Materials:

Worsted Weight ~ Self-Striping Yarn 425 yards

Pictured above using Red Heart Unforgettable 1 1/2 skeins used
Buy it now!!

Hook ~ I

2 Large Beads (optional) for top of Tassle

Scissors

Stitches:

St ~ Stitch     Ch ~ Chain     Sc ~ Single Crochet     Hdc ~ Half Double Crochet

*Tips

You will be increasing  at one end of the scarf and Decreasing at the opposite end to get this fun bias roll effect.

To make this scarf wider, thinner, more or less bulky you can adjust your beginning chain to any width you desire

To make the scarf shorter or longer you can adjust the finished row amount

You will be working in Back Loops for every row

Measurement:

From tip to tip not including the tassels ~ length  85″  and the width when laid flat  7″

Instructions: 

Ch 46

Row 1: Sc in 2nd Ch from hook and each across. = 45 Sc

Work in Back Loops in every row

Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as Hdc now and throughout), Turn, Hdc in the same St as the beginning Ch(This will make an increase), Hdc in the next 43 Sts. Leaving the last St unworked(this will make the decrease. 45 Hdc

Row 3:  Turn, Sl St in first 2 Sts (Make sure to get the very 1st St, these 2 Sl Sts are the decrease), Ch 1, Sc in same St as 2nd Sl St, Sc in next 42 Sts, 2 Sc in the  last St (this will be in the top of the Ch 2 from the prev row, this is an increase). = 45 Sc

Continue working Rows 2 &  3 until your scarf reaches the desired length. I did a total of 117 rows and ended with a Sc row.  Finish off.

Add a tassel to each end if desired.

Here is a quick tutorial on How to Make a Tassel out of yarn…  Tassel Making

I added a fun bead to the top of my tassel for fun!
