D is for Dog Toy

This pattern is a cheap and quick alternative to buying your dog store bought toys.

Supplies:
Yarn for Small Dogs

Old T-shirt Strips for Large Dogs
Scissors

 

I used yarn to make this dog toy, as my toy is for a smaller dog. If you have a medium to large sized dog replace yarn with old t-shirt strips so that the end result will be more durable.

 

Step 1: Cut (18) 40" strands of yarn.

Step 2: Bunch the strands into 2 groups, 9 strands in each group.

Step 2: Form an X by crisscrossing the 2 groups of yarn. (I grouped mine by the colors red, white, & blue)

 

Step 3: Tie knot into the center of X.

Step 4: Braid each section, 4 sections total. Trim ends to even length.

 

You may add more strands of yarn to increase the overall thickness of the toy.
