Brooches are so, well adaptable.
Wear on your cardi, your coat, your bag, your hat or your scarf.
And dogs? Scottie dogs are the cutest.

Why not combine the two?
Perfecto!

This little brooch is constucted in two pieces and single crocheted together.

I use US terms, so single crochet is the same as UK double crochet here.
Chain (ch)
Single crochet (sc)
Stitches (sts)
Single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog)

To single crochet 2 together:

Insert hook into next stitch.
Yarn over, pull up a loop. (2 loops on hook)
Insert hook into next stitch.
Yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook)
Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops
