So im crocheting a bandanna for my grandma’s dog meg, im not really following a pattern i did for the centre square so i knew how to do the strawberry but the rest im free handing. Heres a photo of it
Its not the neatest thing in the world but that doesn’t really matter. I’ve never made a dog bandanna before so i dont really know what im doing but i figure the best way to be able to get her collar on would be to crochet a strip and only sew down the two horizontal sides heres a photo
how should i sew it on ? Because if i just sew it normally you will be able to see the stiches on the other side. Even if i use the pink yarn it will only be a little less visible so i was just curious if any of you guys know how to do this, thanks !!!

im not 100% understanding the question, but from what I’m getting, you’re not sure how to sew the piece on because you don’t want the stitches to show? My advice, if that is the problem, is to use the mattress stitch, if done correctly, you won’t be able to see it :))

Thank you, yes that is my question. I thought mattress stich is what you use to sew granny squares together sm i wrong?

yeah, typically you use it to sew granny squares, but I think if you do it properly, it’ll still work in this case :))

Sorry if im just being idiotic but from what ive found you use mattress stich to sew pieces next to each other
We’re as here i want to sew a piece ontop of another so i don’t think that will work

Don’t sew on the back. Sew on the top so then it will look neat! :)

So you basically take the red square, fold in in half and sew it on to the top stitches. So it makes a loop!

It makes it hang slightly lower, making it easier to see! :)
