Homemade Dog Sweaters
To make homemade dog sweaters, you can often use leftover yarn.
Or check the local thrift stores for good buys if you don't have enough yarn remnants. Also consider asking people you know if they have any skeins they are not planning to use.
Of course, you can always buy new skeins too!
It may be cheaper to buy a sweater, but the satisfaction of having made something for your dog to wear simply cannot be bought!
Remember too that these make wonderful gifts.
In this day of instant everything your effort should mean a lot.
Looking for a design that matches your favorite holiday? Here are some dog Christmas sweater ideas for starters.
Crochet is often faster than knitting, but knitting generally gives a tighter weave.
For free sweater instructions that Jo has designed see:
- Autumn-Halloween dog sweater
This sweater consists of two base colors, bright green and yellow, with leaf and pumpkin outlines created by strands of single crocheted yarn. Directions are given for measuring the dog and the number of stitches to provide your dog with a custom fit garment. - Pebble's crocheted sweater (See photo below)
A pale yellow yarn was used to make this one-piece sweater adapted from a Doggone Knit pattern. - Comet's knitted sweater (See photo above)
This large size sweater was entirely Jo's creation. It is made up of several narrow sections with different knitting features to help beginners learn a variety of ways to use knit and purl stitches. These sections are then sewn together.
