I named this scarf after our adopted dog, Mrs. Phillips (we sometimes call her Magz). I finished it the night we brought her home and I will always remember working up the last few rows while she was snuggled in my lap. What a cutie!

Beautiful scarf, love the yarn use used. But I have to say my heart was stollen by Magz … what a sweetie.
Magz is a heart-stealer for sure, thanks for the comment!
Great scarf and you’re right…rescue dogs DO rule!
love the scarf and the dog is absolutely ADORABLE!!!!!
to a fellow dog lover/// have you knitted any dog harness yet…. looking for one……
love you stuff
do you have instructions for this flower? could you post or send them? I’m working on the rose that you have posted but I really like this one. It’s gorgeous! as is the dog…
I’m sorry, I don’t remember, but you can search Ravelry for crochet flower patterns, there are many beautiful options to choose from!
Thanks. I’ll check.
K, I just updated the post with a link to the flower pattern I used. Thanks for the comment!
Beautiful scarf. Most importantly, the puppy is gorgeous!
Beatiful, the scarf and the little dog….
I want to make the scarf, but I have one doubt…the Row 1 is : K1, yo,k3tog, to last stich,yo,k1.?
Is it correct?
Thanks
Hi, Carmen! I have edited the pattern to make it more clear:
Row 1 (RS): K1, yo, k3tog, *yo, k2tog*, rep from ** to last st, yo, k1.
K1, yo, k3 – repeat between the ** to the last stitch – yo and k1.
Thank you very much, I am very grateful.
Bye
Love this scarf and I will leave mine unblocked too; like the look. Dog is adorable. I have a rescue too named Gunther. He is a treasure.
magz is beautiful!!!scarf is too.i agree rescued animals rule we have 4 ctas and 2dogs.
Nice, simple warm weather scarf but it’s Magz that I really love! <3

there is about 100 different flowers. Maybe one of them will do for your scarf.
Seems like such an easy pattern (and I’ve made much more complicated ones) but I don’t understand the [yo,k2tog] after the yo, k3tog. Are the brackets like the * in other patterns? Does that mean the rest of the row is 2 together until the last st or both k3 then 2 tog or? Thanks and a smooch for Magz!
Hi Monika! I have edited the pattern to make it more clear:
Row 1 (RS): K1, yo, k3tog, *yo, k2tog*, rep from ** to last st, yo, k1.
You will k1, yo, k3tog, then you will repeat between the asterisks to the last stitch, then you will yo, k1.
Thanks for the comment!
Love the scarf and really love Magz!!! My daughter has chihuahuas also.
love the scarf. Magz is adorabe. I have 3 rescues myself. We love them all. they are older dogs, an Italian Greyhoung (Rocket), a Sheltie (Gypsie), and a Chihuahua mix (Peanut).
Rescues Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love little Magz and her big sister! God Bless you for adopting from a shelter. I love the scarf, and I will certainly be trying it myself. Give a big hug to the girls for me, lol.
Love the scarf! Would also love pattern for flower pin as well. Your dogs are to die for!!!! Can’t have enough rescue dogs. They are so grateful to you I am sure.
Hi Linda! There is a link to the flower pattern in the post. Thanks for the comment!
looks lovely…… I work for a hotel where I have to stay over night fore the weekend once a month and am always looking for a short project…. this certainly fits the bill….. and I love my rescue puppy too
How do you attach the flower? I love this scarf and ordered the same yarn yesterday. They will make perfect Christmas gifts.
Thanks,
Noreen
Noreen,
I crocheted the flower, rolled it up and stitched it closed at the base, then I hot glued a circle of felt onto the back and glued that to a brooch pin like this.
Thank you so much for the refly. I now have a copy
What a beautiful scarf. And I love the flower. The dogs are darling and an important part of the pattern. I have my new rescue dog and year-old rescue calico cat sitting against me when I knit. Unless the cat is dragging the knitting, needles attached, around the house. Keep the good patterns coming! More dog pictures, too.
I really like Magz Diagonal Scarf and hope (hope!) to get a chance to try it soon, but I had to respond to the dogs! Beautiful little beasties! And I agree–rescue animals are the greatest. I only have cats at the moment (three girls), and all were rescued. We had a dog, but a friend fell so much in love that we had to let him go to her–they were made for each other!
They are darling, almost as cute as my two Yorkies (smile)
I’m going to try the pattern, thanks
Love the scarf,,do u have the pattern for the brooch !!! ?
Hi Karen! There is a link to the crochet flower in the post.
Here it is again: http://imadethis.wordpress.com/2006/12/14/crocheted-flowers-pattern/
Hi – found your beautiful bias scarf thru All Free Knitting. When I went to get pattern directions – saw one of the cutest dogs ever!
And yes Rescue Dogs do Rule. I have two.
Such a cute scarf, and as a beginner knitter, You Tube helped me with some knit terms I did not know how to knit.
I had to change my yarn, as the yarn was too thin and the needles too big. But I am working on it.
I have to say all rescue animals are the best. They give you unconditional love and attention and they are the only ones I would ever adopt. I have 2 cats that were adopted from shelters/rescue groups. Your babies are cute!!!
Hello – was just reading your comments about the crochet flower and wondered if this might be where you found the original pattern – certainly looks very similar …

Hello, Di! Actually, I found the original pattern I used after all. There are two links to it in the comments and I updated the post itself with another link. Thanks for the comment!
I am knitting this scarf and am having trouble with the number of stitches left on my needle after row1 , I only have 18 stitches left. After ripping out and re-starting 3 times I am sure I am following the patten and I did not drop a stitch. I end up with 18 stitches all 4 times. Do you have any idea what I’m doing wron?.
Are you beginning and ending each row with a k1 stitch? If you are using a k2tog stitch on either end you will create an extra decrease and end up with 18 sts (if you cast on 19 sts).
The row starts with: K1, yo…
The row ends with: …yo, k1.
i do start with K1, yo and end the row with yo, K1. I think the problem is the K3 together. This is where I am loosing a stitch on the first row.
The last yo before the k1 will make up for that lost stitch… are you sure you are making a yo before and after you k3tog?
I also end up with 18 stitches at the end of the first row, and then at the end of the third row, since I do not have 19 stitches, I can’t complete the pattern.
Maureen, can you read my responses to Corrinne’s comments above? That might help sort out the problem with your stitch count. Let me know!
Really like the scarf and fell in love with Magz. What a cutie and how lucky to have found such a special home with you.
congratulatios on the new addition–now how about the pattern for the flower pin?
Hi, Barbara!
There is a link to the flower pattern in the post and I described how I made the brooch in one of the earlier comments.
Thanks for the congratulations!!!
Veronica
HI, I wonder how this ends up with a narrow point on the end, if y0u never increase?
Maureen, the end is pointed because it is knit on the bias. You are essentially creating slanted rectangle and the pointed end is the extended corner.
lovely scarf, and even lovelier pooch!
I love your scarf and your dogs too ! I have two adopted dogs from animal shelter and they make me happy and my body in very good shape ! Thank Lord for creating people and dogs !
Scarf is great but no competition when it comes to Magz. Magz and Stella are top dogz. They win hands down.
Kathy
love the pattern, looking for something for a soldier who is away from home and has asked for one, but have to find the right one and saw your pattern. She will love this.
Thank you for the pattern, oh and in case I forget, she has requested a scarf in green,
lesley
We have 3 rescued dogs each with their own sad story……..but not anymore they rule the yard and house. Animals are soooo forgiving. I have now crochet “rugs” for the animals at our nearest shelter to lay in wait for that special family. PS your scarf is lovely too:>))
I love the scarf but would like to have the pattern for the flower. I think that adds so much. I also love the dog picture. I have a golden doodle. One of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met. We are inseperable.
This is a beautiful scarf. Thanks for sharing.
I love this scarf. I had started it last year and never finished it. I picked it up yesterday and couldn’t find the directions I had printed out and so I had it long enough and decided to join the ends to make a cowl. It turned out pretty cute that way as well but now that I the picture of it with the flower I had forgot about, I need to make another so I can have the flower option as well. Very cute.
What pattern did you use to knit the dog, I can’t seem to find one anywhere.
She was definitely a destash project. She’s got some loose ends, but she’s cozy. And one size fits all!
Thanks for a great easy pattern but I was wondering if you have a pattern for knitting the flower. Thanks again
Hi, Cindy! Here is a link to the flower somewhere in the comments here…
i loooove this scarf the only question i have is can u make a written pattern for that adorable flower please? i have a few other projects that need a little something and ur flower is that extra thing it needs!
You can find a link to the flower pattern up in the comments!
We have a little dog named Lucy that looks a lot like Magz. I just LOVE little dogs! They act like a cat by snuggling and curling up on your lap, but they still are happy to see you when you come home, unlike so many cats who can’t be bothered!
What’re the odds if I started today (5/6/13) that I could get it done by mother’s day (5/12)? Also, top right pic of Magz…um…did you have trouble assembling her when you got her home?
