My dog loves blankets and she always has one. She usually destroys them quickly because not only are they a snuggling companion they are also a toy.
My Boston terrier, Millie, is a crazy little thing who loves to play and destroy. She is good at that destroy part. She has always had a blanket and I love making them for her. I have made them with yarn in the past and also fleece. I just recently crocheted seven for her out of extra yarn I had around the house.

I did not follow a pattern to make these blankets. I used a 6mm hook and make a chain at a length I thought was appropriate. I then hdc (half double crocheted) the whole whole blanket and at the start of each row chained two. If you are a crocheter then hopefully that makes sense. If not, then you will have no idea what I am talking about.
The point of this post is to show you how to use what you have to make things you can use and need. I will never spend money to buy her a pre-made blanket because she will destroy it. What I will do is use resources that I already own to create her something. I now have no extra yarn sitting around my house. Which actually feels weird to say because I usually always have yarn. I think the blankets came out adorable and they will get good use.



Are your crafty and resourceful? I would love to hear any projects you do with extra materials laying around your house!

Such gorgeous blankets! Millie is going to love them. I’d love to learn how to crochet.

Ohmigosh!!! Couple of things–1) I love this! The blankets are too cute!! 2) I love the concept of using what you have instead of running out to the store for materials or for a blanket 3) I’m sure your dog loved it even more because it has your scent on it. I used to know how to crochet when I was a kid but I haven’t done it in forever. I really do envy people that can make such nice things like this!

Thanks for the sweet comment. She loves to destroy them more than anything, but I can’t complain. They keep her occupied. If you ever want to learn to crochet YouTube has amazing tutorials.
