How to Make a Fashionable Crochet Dog Boots


If you want to make a fashion statement for your dogs, here are some guidelines on how to make a fashionable crochet dog boots.

Here are the materials you will be using for this project: crochet hook, yarn or any crochet balls (color will be of your choice), buttons that will match your crochet balls or yarn. Familiarize yourself with these stitches before you start: slip stitch (ss), double crochet (dc), single crochet (sc), half-double crochet (hdc), and half-treble crochet (htc).
Step 1: Chain 11, join with slip stitch to first chain. Chain 2 (this will serve as 1 dc throughout this pattern), 2 dc in each stitch. Do this to the next remaining chains; join with slip stitch to 1st dc. Repeat this step until the bottom part is big enough to fit your dog's paws.
Step 2: Chain 1, hdc in each stitch of the sole, join with slip stitch. Chain 2, double crochet in each of the hdc and join with slip stitch to the first dc (repeat once).
Step 3: Granting that you have 44 hdc in step 2, for step 3 dc in the next 10 stitches, and hdc on the next stitch (repeat around) and join with slip stitch to the first dc. Replicate these procedures till you reach your desired length for your dog boots.
Step 4: Chain 6, skip 3 stitches, double crochet on the next stitch. Chain 3, skip next 3 stitches and dc on the next stitch (repeat around) and join to the third chain of chain 6. You have now created holes for your ribbon to pass thru. If you want your boots to be slightly loosen, adjust your ribbon. If you want it to be tighter do the same procedure.
