My sister, Alice G Patterson, was so excited about our nautical-themed photoshoot that she made some reversible scarves for the dogs. I think Alice did an amazing job on this DIY project for dog lovers.
Alice made a template and photographed all the steps for this tutorial. Some basic sewing skills are required. These scarves are purely decorative and fun. Please do not let your dog wear a scarf if you are not in the same room as her. The scarf could get caught on something and cause a serious problem.
Supplies
DIY Reversible Scarf Printable Template
Prewashed fabric and thread
Fabric Scissors or Rotary Cutter
Recommended: Tape for taping the template together.
Directions
Print and cut out template.
Tape template together or pin template directly to fabric.
Cut. You will need 2 fabric pieces cut for each reversible scarf.
Pin fabric with the good sides facing each other.
Sew with a 3/8″ seam allowance all around, leaving one end open.
Turn right side out.
Hand stitch closed.
A reversible scarf is perfect for Lulu and Franny, but it proved to be too bulky for the small dogs, so Alice used just one piece of fabric to make a smaller scarf.
For a smaller scarf, shorten the length of the template (ours is 32 inches long) and only cut one piece of fabric.
Fold fabric in half, pin and stitch close except for one end.
Turn right side out, hand stitch close, and you’re done! Alice used a smaller seam allowance for this scarf ~ 1/4″.

These are just gorgeous! Thank you for the very clear tutorial – I might have to give these a try!
Oh these are fantastic!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
This is such a cute idea! And as always, Alice’s photographs are beautiful 🙂
I love the shot of the pomeranian with her ears up!So precious.
I love Alice’s style and attention to detail, I always enjoy seeing her work featured. Plus this is a very cool tutorial, I’ll have to try it out!
I love nautical themed things. Mr. N could always use more neck gear right?
He wears neckwear quite well!
A neck tie is one thing Victor doesn’t have. Lots of bow ties too. I might try making these. I should … or I might impulse buy them at a festival. The latter is more likely.
These scarves are so cute. And the photographs are amazing!
Thanks Rachel!
I love these – the colors, shapes, and that they are reversible. Unfortunately, my sewing skills are nonexistent – as in I shouldn’t be allowed near a sewing machine. LOL.
These are pretty awesome
These look amazing! I think Seager and Ozzy would look quite dapper in a necktie!
They are amazing and I love reading about DIY projects – thanks
These look great. Kilo doesn’t mind taking photos in ties and bandanas so he would look very dapper. Unfortunately, I am not much of a sewer, but I have a good friend I might be able to convince. The tutorial looks very clear.
These are so cute! My daughter crocheted similar scarves for the dogs at Christmas. These would be great for summer!
Oh the nautical themed ties are so cute! And honesty this must be pinned. What an awesome DIY project that I think I can do! Adorable pics and super awesome project!
Those are just adorable!! The nautical theme is perfect for summer! I think they look just as cute with one pattern or two, but loved the coordinating fabric. Your photos were really terrific!
This is a lot of fun and I love your very clear pictures. These make a big difference when making a DIY project online.
Thank you Alice and Beth! These are adorable. I just ordered some nautical themes bowties but you can never have too many, right? Summer is nearly here. I will be digging out my sewing machine!
Love these! And the model pups are so cute!
I love the nautical prints, and this looks like such an easy sewing project with a really snazzy result. Very cool that there’s a mini version!
It is always fun to dress up the dogs I have two. They generally don’t like it but they always look so cute. Your scarf looked really great hopefully I can make one as good.
The scarves are too cute! I love that they are reversible and the anchor print is so pretty and perfect for summer. Cute dogs, too!
These are the cutest! I might have to make one for my cats. They would probably leave one on for a brief moment 😉
I need to make one of these for our husky. Super easy and we can customize
How cute! My teen daughter is in a fashion program at school and she’s been working on her sewing skills. This would make an excellent project for her and some cute gear for our pups.
Oh my I love the colors!! That tie is just too cute and your dog looks adorable in it.
One of our dogs absolutely loves wearing clothes. I need to make him this scarf.
Oh I love that! That is so cute! He looks like a happy dog too! I like that it also looks like a tie.
Thanks for these hacks. It seems so easy to make these with your step by step instructions!
What a fun project to make for your favorite dog. Looks easy to do and fun for the dog too.
Oh this is such a cute DIY to make for your dog! I absolutely love the idea of making them a reversible scarf WAY TO CUTE!
This is just way too cute! Looks simple and easy for dog owners to make too!
These are really cute, great scarf for our furry friends. I will share with my friend who has dog. I don’t have dog may be in summer I will get one.
I really love this idea! It’s so cute and it makes the dogs more lovely!
Such adorable scarves for the dogs. Thanks for the idea. Those scarves would be really cute for my SIL’s dogs too.
Oh my goodness, these are just the cutest. Makes them look so modern! Love it!
I wish I was as crafty as you. This reversible scarf for dogs is a nice DIY project. I will try my best but I cannot promise it will turn out as pretty as yours.
My dog would love to have a scarf as pretty as that. Scarves are the only “clothing” he can tolerate. Haha. I will ask help from my sister to make sure I am doing everything right.
Oh that’s cute, I need to make this, have my puppy matching me.
