Dog or Cat Scarf

November 20th, 2009 | Author: tonycoke

Here is a simple, FREE accessory you can make for your precious dog, car, farret, or other small pet.

My cat, Kricket, is not a big fan of costumes or pet clothing, but she will tolerate a scarf for a little while.  cat scarf pet costumeBrowsing through my closet, I came across my sock box. I probably go through 10 or 12 pairs of socks a week, wash them on the weekend, then they go back in the box, leaving the same pairs in regular rotation. So I started digging, wondering what was underneath my regular rotation sock. What I found was about 30 pairs of old stretched out socks, rarely used dress socks, and wildly colorful socks I have no business owning. I thought, there has to be some use for these wonderful veterans of the foot accessory army.

Now of course, this is probably better suited to your normal small dog outfitter, but hell, even a snake could wear a pet scarf. And with a cost of NOTHING, ZERO, FREE, you can’t go wrong.

  • Step 1 – Find an old sock. Now this is probably the hardest part of the whole process. So many old socks to choose from! Make sure it will not be too tight and choke your lovely pet!! I went with a plain white sock for two reasons. My cat, Kricket, is black and white, so it matches. And secondly, it was the biggest, loosest sock in the box making it easier to put on a reluctant cat.
  • Step 2 – Once you find the perfect foot warmer turned neck warmer, bust out your scissors. Don’t run.

  • Step 3 – Cut out the end of the sock. Mine was a crew style sock, so i cut just behind the crew line. You may want to put the sock on your foot one last time at this point, especially if you have pretty toes.

  • Step 4 – Cut off the leg part of the sock. My sock was a mid calf length so i cut it off right if front of the ankle, leaving only 5 or 6 inches, the part of the sock that goes around the middle of your foot. Now, if you have a mid calf or knee sock, you may be able to use the top portion of your sock as a scarf as well. Just remember, you don’t want the scarf to be too long and bunch up excessively. Although, some bunching up does look good.
  • Step 5 – Install! I had to be sneaky to get this on my cat, but once it was on, she didn’t really care, and she looks so stylish!
