Sniff Pet Candles Offer Aromatherapy for Dogs

by

Jenn Mohr combined her love of candles and dogs by creating an aromatherapy candle line for dogs called Sniff Pet Candles.

Apparently the candles will “promote your dog’s optimum health and well-being”. They’re made with all natural ingredients like essential oils, soy wax, beeswax and palm wax.

Also, a portion of the sales from Sniff Pet Candles goes to a coalition of animal rescue groups that help reduce the number of homeless animals.

Some of the Scents from Sniff Pet Candles

“Fart & Away” contains floral ylang ylang, tuberose, white tea, myrtle and fennel. It’s supposed to ease a dog’s gassy condition as well as help cover up the scent. “Splendor in the Grass” will give your dog sweet dreams of past walks in the park and is scented like fresh cut grass, hay and cedar wood trees.

I’m just glad that there aren’t other less appealing smells that only dogs seem to like. The sorts of scents from Sniff Pet Candles seem like compromises so that both dog owners and pets are happy.

Bucket Hat Knitting Patterns

As I was starting to write this post I thought that it was true that I’d never done a roundup of bucket hat knitting patterns before. But then I looked, and I actually did one last year (which you can find here) but there are plenty of cute bucket hats to do another post about, right? 

The one that made me want to write about this (again) is the Red Heart Knit Fanfare Bucket Hat from Yarnspirations. This cute striped hat can be worked in team colors, and while I might prefer a non-acrylic yarn for a summer hat, it would be fine when it’s not too hot outside (or try a cotton yarn instead). 

Claire Slade’s Sunlit Bucket Hat has an angled brim to help keep the sun out of your eyes. It’s worked from the bottom up using worsted weight cotton yarn, and comes in three sizes. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Get a little air flow in your bucket hat with the Shady Bucket Hat from Wool & Beyond. This one uses DK weight yarn and an eyelet pattern throughout the body to keep it cool. It comes in sizes ranging from newborn to adult large, and is worked in one piece from the top down. You can grab the pattern (in English or Swedish) on Ravelry. 

If you’re looking for a fun, floppy sun hat for kids or adults, this pattern from Muki Crafts is a little more slouchy than a traditional bucket hat but it’s super cute. It comes in baby, toddler and bigger kid sizes and adult. I uses worsted weight yarn and is worked from the bottom up. 

Another variation on the classic bucket is this one that’s more of a cloche style. Made by branda, it uses bulky yarn so it’s more of a winter bucket hat, but now’s a fine time to knit it if you live somewhere that’s warm right now (or even more so if you live somewhere that’s cold right now). 

Another one to get you ready for colder weather is Tirmety, a two-layer bucket hat from ViTalina Craft, which has a textured stitch pattern on one side and stockinette on the other. You can wear either side out or even make them different colors if you want. The pattern is sized for toddlers, kids and adults. 

And if you want to add some extra cuteness to your bucket hat, I love this (of course totally optional but also totally adorable) embroidered deatila on the New York Bucket Hat from Pauline Fanguin. It uses two strands of DK weight yarn held together for extra sturdiness, and uses changes in needle size to shape the hat. Of course you could also knit stripes or use different textures of yarn to change up the look. This pattern is made to fit your head and is available in French and English.
