Crochet Dog Bandana in Cotton with a Free Embroidered Name

This crochet dog bandana slides onto a collar you already own, through a channel worked along the top edge, so there is nothing tied around the neck. It comes in small, medium and large, and we embroider a name on it free of charge. It is cotton throughout.

How to size a crochet dog bandana

1. Measure the collar. Measure the width of the collar, not the neck. That is the number that decides whether the channel fits.
2. Pick the drop. Small drops about 14 cm, medium about 18 cm and large about 23 cm from the collar down to the point.
3. Send the name. Write the spelling exactly as you want it stitched. Short names sit best; anything over ten letters gets crowded.

Why a crochet dog bandana sits better than a tied scarf

A tied scarf works loose, rides up and ends up under a chin. A crochet dog bandana held on the collar stays where you put it, because the collar is doing the work. It also comes off in one movement when you take the collar off, which matters at the end of a walk when the dog is wet.

The stitch is worked flat and firm so the triangle keeps a clean point instead of rolling at the edges. Cotton washes at a reasonable temperature and dries flat without blocking. If you want something to go with it, our amigurumi cat with a bandana is made in the same yarn.

Crochet dog bandana specification

Made to order and shipped worldwide

Your crochet dog bandana is made after you order and takes 5 to 10 working days, then it is posted tracked from Hanoi. The shipping page lists the detail.

Care

Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap, press the water out with a towel, pull the triangle back into shape and dry it flat away from direct sunlight. Wash it weekly if the dog is walked in mud. There is more in our amigurumi care guide.

Questions people ask

Will a crochet dog bandana fit a cat?

The small size fits most cat collars. Check that the collar has a breakaway catch, and take the bandana off if your cat goes outdoors.

What if the name is spelled wrongly?

If we made the mistake we remake it and pay the postage. Please check your order notes carefully, since we stitch exactly what is written.

Does the cotton irritate the skin?

It sits on the collar rather than against the neck, and cotton is the mildest yarn we work with. Stop using it if you see any rubbing.

Can I order two for two dogs?

Yes. Give both names and both collar widths in the order notes and we will make them together.

For other pieces made for pets and their owners, see our custom crochet section. You are welcome to message us on Facebook Messenger with the collar width if you are unsure.
