Bobbie’s Adjustable Crocheted Dog Sweater Pattern

Woof — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 02:22:41 +0000

This dog sweater crochet pattern is ideal for small or toy breeds, but can also be added on to as a larger dog grows into a full size dog. This means one sweater can fit your special pooch from puppyhood to maturity! Since the pattern is scalable, it can also be utilized for larger breeds who are already all grown up.

Using a size G hook and WW yarn, this pattern will help you make a wonderful full body pullover with 4 leg holes. Notes accompany the pattern which explain how to make the sweater longer as the dog grows.

Well done to Bobbie Birchfield, and we hope you enjoy her lovely patterns – of which there are many more. Click here for this pattern and more!

Prerequisites of Selecting a Dog Sweater Pattern.

Don't select a sweater based on size alone – there are many other factors you should take into consideration when selecting a pattern. There's a great list from eHow.com on the subject. Here are a few of our favorite tips:

1. Understand that sweaters are not just a silly accessory. Many dogs need to wear them in cold weather. Shorthaired breeds, older dogs, ill dogs and puppies may need to wear sweaters for protection in cold weather.

Ask your vet if you are unsure whether your dog needs a sweater.

Know that to be effective against cold a sweater should completely cover your dog's stomach, keep its legs free for easy movement, fit snugly and end at the base of the tail.

Notice that sweaters come in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes. If you are unsure which size your dog should wear, here's a guideline: Toy breeds wear small, beagle-size dogs wear medium, retriever-size dogs wear large and dogs the size of Saint Bernards wear extra-large. If all else fails, hold the sweater up to your dog to check for size.
