Can you just stitch it on with yarn, like cross stitch?

I am working on accessories for pictures of dogs in our local shelter. I’ll run up a few of these for the photographers to use. Thanks!

I made a baby carseat blanket using Alabama’s colors, red and white, in the houndstooth pattern. I would like to send you a picture but not sure how to do that.

Hi Martha, you do turn (I guess it depends how you look at it) try reading Claire’s reply about turning in the previous comments.
For the chaining, you’ll start with the chain 3, then do the sc in next dc, dc in next sc, etc. You don’t do anything with the chain 3, the chain is just there so that the beginning of the row is the same height as the rest of the row. So you’re not going to work into it or anything.

As a novice at crocheting, I am trying to make the houndstooth dog scarf. I don’t understand when you say you don’t turn the piece. How do you crochet back? Also, the directions say in Row 2 to chain 3, what do you do with that when the next direction says to sc in nect dc, and dc in next sc?
Thank you for your help.
Martha

Raelynna, yes, you are correct! A multiple of 3 would be…3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc.. so any number that 3 divides into without a remainder.

Hello! this is a great pattern that my friend would absolutely love, so i’m attempting it for a christmas gift, only problem is i’m fairly novice to all the terms and what not,
when you say multiple of 3 what do you mean exactly? like when chaining make sure 3 goes into the number then add one for turning? I just want to make sure before i start it, sorry to bother with such a basic question! it’s appreciated though!

I was so excited to learn how to make the houndstooth stitch. Being from Alabama and having many friends who are Bama fans, I have already crocheted several scarves and hats for adults. I made a hat for my grandson and my college roommate’s daughter and have had 4 of their friends want me to crochet them a hat. Black/white houndstooth is the signature of former coach Bear Bryant so is is very popular. I do intend to use that stitch in a jacket I am planning to make for myself. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
