On behalf of the Oombawka Design readers, and myself, I would like to Thank Joanita for sharing the little doggie blanket and basket crochet pattern! What a great project idea for small dogs and cats!
Looks like a nice, dense stitch pattern, which would probably also work well for Snuggles Project blankies for real dogs & cats! Might have to make the blanket larger, though, especially if making it for larger animals.
Very welcome Sharon 🙂 I’m happy you like it and Joanita will be too 🙂 Have a great Memorial Day Weekend! Hugs! Rhondda
OMG!sh this is too cute! Love it, thank you so much for the pattern.
Hugs!
