Dog Bone

[dogymom]

Andrea, here's mine. Your pattern was so easy to follow. I may make a matching rug with my leftover yarn! I used 2 strands yellow Mainstay, and 2 strands blue Red Heart. Thanks for sharing the pattern. I just love it!!!

I'm afraid mine doesn't look quite like yours, but I am happy with it!

Debi, you did a wonderful job!!!! I love it in the different colors. Very chic. Thanks for trying out the pattern. I am glad it didn't drive you crazy. How many stitches did you use in your starting chain?

[dogymom]

24 with a Q hook, the rest of the bone with a P hook. Mines a little bigger than yours by a few inches. Thanks again!!!

Debi, is your mat ever nice done in the blue & yellow I really love it. I guess it can be done in any color combination and that's always the beauty of a hand made item. Love it Maria

Thank you for the pattern. It worked up great. I agree, the design of the corners was shear genius. Here it is done with some chunky bernat yarn, color citron (some perfect yarn from a RAOK, thanks again, fairy): Ok, here is the link because for some reason, even when I resize the pics they are comming out too big. (new problem, don't know what is up with that)

After making this, I think I am going to add one to my Christmas list for my Daughter's new MIL in cutsie colors. (she has a little long hair Chihuahua named Jasmine (Jazzie for short).

Andrea if the magazines that you submitted the pattern to doesn't take it, they are nuts, I loved making it and whenever I see anyones finished mat, I want to make another one in another color, I just love them:manyheart Remember me for any other tests!!!!!!! Maria

[crochetdiva]

I know what you mean....I want to make another one, but this time in a different color combo. Luckily I have friends with pooches.

Thanks Andrea, I did one last night for

"Puppa", my dog.

 

This is how it turned out:

If I was you, I would copyright this one, or whatever it is that you do, and contract with a petstore to make and sell to them or something, this is one that could really make it out there.

 

Three things:

1. Easy

2. Funtional

3. Nice Looking

Kathy, I love the colors of your mat! The solid trim really makes it stand out.

[sem464]

I love yours with the colors! I was thinking of doing one in colors, now I know I have to!!!! Great job!

[aglarannaelf]

Wow, this is great! I have to make one for my dachshund!!!

[Jewels]

As you can see, my doggy is pretty happy with his new little bonerug. I made another one too for his doggyfriend. Pattern was very easy to make, and thanks AJ for sharing this cute pattern. Who doesn't like to make something for their dog, right?

 

[crochetdiva]

Great job Julie!!! Looks like your dog approves!

[Keiyla]

[mimicat]

Congratulations for such a wonderful pattern! The mats created from your pattern are all very nice!

[crochetdiva]

thanks everyone. I agree, people are making great mats. Keep it up!

[mimi_mia]

Andrea, the mats are amazing, each time I see a new picture of one I love them even more, I made 2 so far and now I'm sorry I didn't make mine more colorful, but I have an idea, I love the holidays so much I'm thinking of making an orange & black one for halloween, a red & green one for christmas, etc...

[crochetdiva]

Maria, you are a genious!!! What a great idea. I will have to do the same for my pooch. thanks!!

[sunshine1977]

Here are my versions of Andrea's dog bone pattern!

 

The top one is done in three strands of RH Tweed - Moss and an M hook. The bottom one is done in two strands of Yarn Bee Highland Thistle in Shetland (from Hobby Lobby) and an M hook. The Tweed one turned out very tailored, but the bottom one is very fuzzy and funky looking - I love it!! Thanks again for the pattern, Andrea!!

Awesome job Laurie!!! Are either of the yarns a chunky weight? Or both worsted weight?
