For this project it was simply an experiment I thought it would be fun and cute to make the demogorgon from stranger things into a dog outfit. And it was really fun this was my first time making it and I learned a lot of tips and tricks to it, in which I will share with all of you to make your outfit better and easier to make. And the main thing I learned is to use their collar to make sure it fits. I definitely learned this after I had finished which made my outfit big on my smaller dog. With the steps below I will be putting in hacks I used, and hacks I wish I would have used. Now let’s get our dog outfit going…

Supplies

For this dog outfit your going to need…

Red yarn

White yarn

Crochet hook

Crochet needle

Scissors

A darker color like a burgundy

Step 1: Main Pieces

You are going to be needing 5 of these and with my small dog I made it a little too big so one way you can make sure it will fit your dog is to get their collar and after making the first piece see if it’s too big for the collar and if it is you can simply just chain less at the beginning

So the first thing is to make a slip stitch and chain 16. Then you do a double crochet for 3 more rows. Then on the next row you are going to do a double crochet decrease and the first two stitches and the last two stitches and you are going to continue doing this until you have 3 stitches left. I have attached a image of what the double crochet decrease should look like so you can compare it to yours. Then you are going to finish it off and hide the strings.

Step 2: Part Two of the Main Pieces

This is the easiest step to do. You are just going to get your white yarn and chain 3 then do a double crochet decrease with those two stitches then finish it off and leave one string so you can attach it to the red pieces. You just make enough of these for your red pieces and just place them at random and use your crochet hook to attach them on.

Step 3: Part 3 of the Main Pieces

For this you are going to grab your burgundy color and go along each edge of the red pieces.

Step 4: Finishing It Off

Now you are going to get your burgundy color yarn again and do a single crochet connecting across each of the red pieces. And at the beginning you are going to want to leave a tail of yarn and at the end use a trail of yarn. This way you will be able to tie it across your dogs neck. Or a simple way is you could get some Velcro to make it easier.
