I'm looking forward to seeing it!

My concern with a yarn harness is that it would stretch and cause an escape hazard. Does it seem stretchy?

I'm out of practice, so I'm making mine really tight. Not on purpose. That would me my concern as well. I'm going to test it out for a while with my pup. If it happens to slip and he gets out of it, he has a pretty good recall so I'm not too worried. I wouldn't sell these though. They can make a really cute gift that our friends can use on occasion.

Do any of you knit? I wonder if a linen stitch would hold tighter since it's more of a weave, less of a knit... I'll have to try and play with one.

You should! If we bounce ideas off each other, we can make a pretty solid hand made harness.

Geez. I so envy you that can crochet. Good Luck!

I think linen stitch would work. I can't imagine the crochet not stretching a ton. that has me worried.

Still waiting to take a peek at your handiwork Suzi!

I'm almost done! I just need to add the chest piece that goes across. (does that make sense?) and I need to attach the rings. I'm starting to wonder if I should add a clasp or a buckle of some sorts. How else will it stay up without having a leash attached?

I'll probably be uploading pictures tomorrow.

Velcro, snap, magnetic button (same aisle at Joann's by the purse/handbag hardware...or the sewing notions). Even a hook and eye may work.

But why would you have it on if you're not using the leash? Doesn't Kaji wear a collar?

I wouldn't use velcro, it'll snag up something terrible.

Well, I haven't started mine yet LOL. Can't seem to get off of YT!

But as Fldeb stated, nylon crochet cord doesn't stretch at all. I could only find it in black though. Thinking about spinning it together with a netallic cord for some sparkle.

I looked at the cotton, but I think that may rot over time. Didn't like the D rings I found, and have been playing around (in my head) with some other ideas to reinforce and strengthen high stress areas, and a way to make it adjustable.

Different stitches in both knitting and crochet can be done to make it less stretchy (some have much more 'give' than others), and I want to find a stich or combo that looks great too.

So check back with me next year some time...haha... I hope not that long....

He wiggles too much. It would be easier on me if I could snap it on and then grab a leash and then attach that.

Oh, then what about those mini plastic buckles and then the d rings over them?

I finally finished. My second attempt is much, MUCH nicer than my first attempt.
