This heart-shaped pet accessory was knit with a hand-dyed machine-wash wool yarn in sock (fingering) weight, on 3.5mm needles.

The basic stitches are an Estonian asynchronous lace stitch for the starry background and a dainty eyelet chevron for the sea’s waves.

I used a blue, violet, and plum variegated fingering weight yarn I found on eBay (about 75-80yards/69-73 meters of hand-dyed superwash wool sock yarn).

It fits medium-sized dogs as a bandana and smaller dogs as a shawl. The addition of a small button means that you can adjust the fit to suit your dog’s neck size.

This is a companion accessory to the human Sea and Stars Lace Knit Shawl (pattern also available in my Ravelry shop).
