That’s so cute — and looks like your gift was a hit! 😄
The pattern you used, Granny Square Balaclava Dog Pattern (crochet), is exactly that: a handmade crochet balaclava for dogs made from classic granny square motifs.

Here’s a bit about it:

🧶 What it is

• It uses granny square crochet motifs — those classic colorful square units crocheted in rounds.

• These squares are joined together to form a snug hood shape that frames your dog’s face.

• The eye-catching color changes give it a fun, vintage look while still being cozy and practical.

🐾 Why it makes a great gift

• Unique handmade design: It’s not something you buy in stores — your friend will appreciate the time and creativity you put in.

• Functional & stylish: Keeps pups warm on chilly walks and looks adorable.

• Customizable: You can play with colors and yarn types to match personality or season.
