Thanks to Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant’s ubiquitous houndstooth hat, the houndstooth print has become a staple in the state of Alabama. During football season, you can’t go anywhere without running into somebody wearing houndstooth.
I’ve selected 22 fabulous houndstooth crochet patterns. Whether you’re looking for baby, adult, or household items, or even something for your favorite pooch to wear, you’re sure to find at least one design here that is calling your name.
Houndstooth is traditionally black and white, but see how wonderful it looks in different color combinations!
