Crochet Pattern: Chihuahua Ears Headband
By Caissa "Cami" McClinton – Be the first to commentWhile this may be a controversial position, I believe the chihuahua is both the cutest and mightiest of dogs! I am excited to share the love by designing this cute chihuahua ears headband. The ears are constructed separately and then affixed to a store-bought, plastic headband. This could be the beginning of an easy Halloween costume.
Finished Size: Each ear measures 3″ (8 cm) wide, 3″ (8 cm) tall |
 |
| Materials: Medium Weight Yarn (small amounts of white and tan) Crochet Hook H (5.00 mm) |
 |
Gauge: Rows 1 – 4 in pattern measure 3″ (8 cm) wide, 3″ (8 cm) tall.
