The Snug Hound Story

Back in 2019, I went to a Christmas market where I bought a crochet kit. It was just one ball of yarn and one hook, but it changed my life (and everyone got a hand-crocheted snood for Christmas that year!)

There have been some distractions in the intervening years, such as getting my degree and qualifying as a teacher. But my real love is crochet, and it wasn’t long before I decided that my beloved dog, Oscar, needed a jumper of his own.

The first attempt was not very successful.

But the next attempt was much better!

While Oscar is the original Snug Hound, when I decided to start a crochet business, I knew every dog deserved a beautiful jumper.

Snug Hound was born.

Credit where it’s due!

The very first Snug Hound jumper, the Original Roll-Neck, is a pattern created by Louise Deane.

You can buy it here: Lola’s Roll-Neck Jumper

I am currently working on some of my own patterns just for dogs… so watch this space!
