Dog Cowl Pattern (Easy Knit)

In this post, you will see a dog cowl pattern that is great for stash busting.

If you love Harry Potter knitting patterns, here is a dog cowl pattern inspired by the Gryffindor house colors.

Always ready for getting up to no good this cowl perfectly matches his mischief-managed dog sweater.

An Easy-Level Knitting Pattern

This is an easy pattern for those of you who are advanced beginner level, and the techniques you will need to know are knit, purl, and knitting in the round.

You will also knit stripes by joining in a different colored yarn to the main color.

If you have never knit in the round before you can watch my video tutorial here.

*Pin for later!*

Inspired By The Harry Potter Movies

Jason is just such a wannabe Weasley!

He has the right coloring and suits the Gryffindor house colors perfectly.

We have been watching the Harry Potter movies on and off over the last couple of months, whenever it is a stormy, rainy day we snuggle with a blanket and watch together.

The Yarn I Used

The cowl/knitted collar was knit in bulky yarn for the main color – Hayfield Super Chunky With Wool in shade 0053 Hollyhocks.

I had some leftovers in the same brand of yarn in mustard that I used for the stripes.

This yarn is super bulky weight 06.

Skill Level – Easy

This cute cowl will be perfect for Halloween knit up in your favorite colors or Hogwarts house colors.

It’s harness friendly because it is only worn around the neck and it can be adjusted to fit dogs of all sizes.

There is no seam showing because this is knit in the round on circular needles.
