Long Ear Dog Snood Crochet Pattern

A snug ribbed snood made for long-eared dogs such as cocker and springer spaniels, basset hounds and setters. The ears tuck inside so they stay out of the food and water bowl, and a tighter ear-hold band (worked on a smaller hook) keeps them there. Worked in joined rounds of front and back post hdc, so it's stretchy and dense. Sizes S, M and L are each written out in full. Skill level: Beginner. Different from our Greyhound Snood and Small Dog Snood: this one is shaped for ears, not just warmth.
