Dog Leash

"What’s so awesome about this dog leash pattern is that it is extremely beginner-friendly. In fact, all we’re using is a much stronger variation of the single crochet! For this dog leash crochet tutorial I am making super sturdy leashes for my mixed breed girl, Cher, and my boyfriend’s German Shorthaired Pointer, Maisey. Maisey is a great dog, if a bit on the wild side, as most GSPs are. I know you may be wondering if this crocheted dog leash will be strong enough for all dogs. My answer to this is that you know your dog best. If you have a hard time walking your dog or controlling your dog on a leash, then create and use this leash at your discretion – or not at all. You know your dog best and if in doubt, better to sit it out. I will say that the larger girl pictured here, Maisey, is a very strong hunting dog. Her breed is notorious for being crazy and spastic, and the leash as outlined below works great for her!"
