These bear snoods are easy to work up and make easy, adorable costumes for your larger four legged friends. The short, tube-shaped snood stays in place with a stretchy band while the center section features a looser stitch, allowing more room for your pup’s ears.

--- Skill Level ---

This project is recommended for experienced beginners. The construction is not difficult, but it does involve a few rounds of alternating front/back post crochet, which may be tricky for new crocheters.

--- Sizing ----

The finished snood is sized to fit large breed dogs. The pattern features a measurement section with tips on how to easily measure and modify the design to create a snood for other size pets.
