Abstract:

A pet bow tie comprises a substantially tubular piece of material in combination with a bow portion attached to the tubular piece of material. The bow portion has two puffed portions and two tails, each tail being joined to a respective one of the puffed portions. The bow portion also includes a band encircling the puffed portions and the tails. The method of manufacturing the pet bow tie involves folding a piece of material along an imaginary center line passing transversely through a center portion of the piece of material so as to form two tail portions interconnected by adjacent sections of the center portion. The two tail portions are stitched together along a stitch line running parallel to the center line and separating each of the tail portions from a respective one of the adjacent sections of the center portion, and the tail portions and adjacent sections of the center portion are then spread apart to form the pet bow tie. Preferably, the pet bow tie is connected to a tubular piece of material which can be mounted on the pet's collar.
