| dog booties I am not sure if i have put this on here before or not juts in case here it is. i have fond a couple of sites that have dog booties to crochet. here is a link to one site and i have just copied the pattern on the other site to put on here. I have not made these yet so if any one makes them i sure would like to see a picture of them. one version: http://www.ljccrochetdesigns.com/DogBooties.html and then the other pattern is copy write so i have added the name also: Kathy Cano Murillo The Arizona Republic Just because it's hot doesn't mean Fido should be stuck in the doghouse. So take him or her for a walk already, and don't worry about the heat. Here's a fashionable way to protect your pooch's paws from the searing pavement. You can buy a set for $20 at the pet store, or take up the art of crochet and make your own for less than a dollar and less than an hour's time. This project is perfect for summer; the loose crochet stitches combined with lightweight cotton yarn will keep those footsies cool from top to bottom. Pavement Paw Protectors Supplies: Measuring tape 1 skein of lightweight cotton yarn 1 Size J crochet hook Scissors 24 inches of ribbon Directions: Measure the width of your dog's paw. Next, measure the length and add two inches to that number. This is how wide and long you need to make each bootie. For a medium-size dog: Begin by holding the end of the yarn, making a slipknot and inserting the hook through the loop. Make 6 or 7 chain stitches; at the end, join them to make a circle. Begin to create the bootie by adding stitches around the circle, using the double stitch. Continue to build up to desired height and then finish off. Cut four pieces of ribbon, each 8 inches long. Weave a strand through the top row of each bootie so you can tie it on the dog's paw. Variations: For smaller dogs, decrease the amount of chain stitches; for larger dogs, increase. For more durable booties, sew a small piece of suede onto the bottom. Add decorative stitching at the top. If you do not want to crochet, you can make the booties out of fleece and use Velcro straps for closure.
