Boho-Chic Recycled Dog Sweater

She must have been a hippie in a past life!


To make this outfit all you need is a scarf that no one wears anymore (and a matching hat if you want the optional hood!)


I trimmed the fringe a bit shorter then folded the scarf in half lengthwise.  Using a crochet hook and some wool I crocheted the two sides together on one long edge. Alternatively you could sew them together.


Here's what the back looks like.



Now drape it over you dog and decide wear you want to sew up underneath.  You need  an opening for the head and another larger opening for the two legs and chest (instead of two separate leg holes...very easy to put on!)


If you want to make the hood open the hat up in half and sew that edge to the top of the sweater and you're done!



See how the head is through the smaller opening and the chest is through the larger one.



And now that unused scarf has a new life!


Here is Karma's aloof, disinterested model expression ; )
