DIY whippet snood!
One of the simplest things you can make for your dog.
Made of soft polar fleece, it can be worn covering the ears or not.

| Over ears |
Snoods are used to keep the ears warm and some people even use them to keep the ears of long eared/haired breeds tidy before shows.
For this DIY you will need:
Some polar fleece fabric
Sewing machine
Thread
Scissors
Measuring tape
and
A DOG
First measure around your dog's head and take that measurement to form the longest side of your rectangle adding a few cm or an inch or so for seam allowance. Then use the length you want your snood to be to form the length of the shortest side you your rectangle. Make sure the stretch of the fabric goes with the longest side.
Turn fabric over, fold over both long sides, pin and sew down like shown.
Zig- Zag stitch adds strength to the seams
Fold over as shown
Sew down remaining side
Fold inside out

That's interesting. We don't know that we could walk wearing one of those....luckily it doesn't get REALLY cold here, but we can see it would be great in colder climes.
ReplyDeleteCrikey Bella, Roxy and Dui .... you're not whippets ..... you wouldn't know but we blokes get awful cold, awful easily. It doesn't get that cold in Noosa but I sure could use one of those. My ears positively turn to iceblocks sometimes. I'm going to get Mum to make me heaps in all different colours to match my EXTENSIVE wardrobe. Thanks for the recipe!! Mmmmmmm ..... should I say.... PATTERN!! She's not much of a sewer. Crikey ...... what am I saying?? She can't cook either.
ReplyDeleteYep we get the iceblock ears! and the extensive whippet wardrobe too!
DeleteTell your ma to get busy, you need lots of snoods!

ReplyDeleteAdorable and functional! I'll be making a Pug-sized one for Victoria before Winter hits here.
ReplyDeleteThey look so cute. I am going to make one for my Doberman. She has natural ears and they get so cold in the winter. Thanks so much for the clear directions and pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I have a rehomed ex-racing greyhound so I plan to make one for her plus some for other rescued greyhounds so that they can take one with them when rehomed.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and looks pretty simple. Will definitely be making one for my Dogo. Thank you so much for sharing!
