Faux Fur Dog Crochet Blanket Pattern

I am so excited for you to check out this simple dog blanket! I can promise it is easy to make, and I can also promise your pups will love it too.

It is tested and approved by my pups!

I was inspired to make this furry blanket because Penn and Clyde (my pups) love to lay on my bed and look out the window. Since this is a daily occurrence I always throw a blanket on the bed and I thought this yarn would make a cozy and beautiful blanket for my bed.

I have seen these types of faux fur blankets ALL over the internet for dogs, so I figured I would create my own for my dogs. You may have seen a similar pet throw on Amazon or on Facebook ads recently. I know I have. LOL.

How to Crochet a Dog Faux Fur Blanket

This yarn is amazingly soft and easy to work with but the furriness does make it hard to see stitches, so I stuck with just the single crochet (sc) throughout. Uses the single crochet will make it 100% easier to crochet this faux fur blanket!

Learn more about the single crochet here or watch a video tutorial about it here.

The single crochet makes it a little easier to feel exactly where the stitches are and gives a little room for error. You will need to check and make sure your blanket is straight as you go.

I made a video of me crocheting with this yarn, so you can see how you have to search for the stitches when you are working. It is easy. Promise! Take a look at the video here.

The blanket's initial chain will be the length, and the rows we work up will be the width. If you'd like to change the size, you can! Just start with any number of a starting chain and work up the pattern as written, or you can use our blanket resizing calculator for complete starting chains, yardage and rows needed.

I did not figure out the exact yardage for every size blanket, but I will have the amount I used for this example listed below in the pattern.

No worries though! I know you can do it!

How to Get a Perfectly Even Crochet Blanket

When I was crocheting mine, I got about 10 rows in and realized that something was wrong. The blanket was starting to make a rainbow shape when I laid it out flat, which meant that my initial chain was done too tightly. So, I knew that I had to frog it all!

To get a perfectly even crochet blanket, I started over and made sure my starting chain was looser than before. To make it a little easier you could size up a crochet hook for the starting chain then switch the 9 mm as I used. I used an aluminum hook, but any brand of hooks will work fine.
