My Camo Dog Sweater

[mason204]

I wanted to crochet a sweater for my dog but I wanted a free pattern that:

 

*Was easy to pull on and off his head

*Had holes where I could fit his harness through to attach a leash

*Was warm

*That could be knit with knitting worsted weight yarn

*That was a quick crochet (could be done in an evening)

*Could be crocheted in one piece (too lazy to sew seams)

*Was stylish (I liked the shaped sweaters)

 

Although there are a ton of free knit dog sweaters, there seems to be very few free crochet patterns. So I took matters into my own hands and created this jacket for my new dog Sammy:

 

 

 

I made it in camo since my hubby walks the dog sometimes and he wouldn't walk the dog if Sammy's jacket were too feminine looking.

It's mostly treble crochet except for the 4" ribbing at the neck. It's an easy slip on/off jacket.

 

It was hard to get closer photos of the jacket since my dog never stops moving.

 

I've got to sit down and write out the pattern. Wasn't too difficult.

P.S. I've since written out the pattern and you can find it on my blog here.

That looks great! I'd love to see the pattern when you get the time to write it out. My sister would love that for her rat terriers!

Oh that would be perfect for my lil dachshund, as she has very short front legs. I'd love the pattern.

My Mom just got a daschund mix, I have been looking for a dog sweater pattern for her new dog. Sammy looks nice and warm!

My Thorn would feel like he had to defend his machoism, because I think my Rosie would be chasing after your cutey Sammy. He's adorable, and extra adorable in his new sweater. Great job!

That is just precious!!

You did a great job, and your little Sammy wouldn't want to be labeled as feminine either, so I think you've done right by the dog and your husband.
