Knitted Dog Sweaters

Our guide to FREE patterns for knitted dog sweaters!

Below is a collection of free patterns that may be good options for anyone wanting to make a dog sweater to knit.

Comet's Knitted Sweater
This one was specially created by me for beginning knitters, with instructions for adapting measurements to your dog. The sweater consists of panels (sections) knitted separately, which are later sewn together.

These combine the two basic knit and purl stitches in different ways to result in four distinct patterns, including patchwork, moss stitch, stockinette and broken rib.

At left is the latest sweater I knitted for her. I will add instructions at some point in the future.


Below are a few more free knitting patterns for dog sweaters:

Cable Knit Pattern for Greyhounds
This is for more experienced knitters. Alas, there are no photos with the pattern.

Lavonne's Dog's Cabled Jacket
These instructions are for a dog measuring 8" width across the shoulders and 14" length along the back. They appear fairly straightforward. However, you will need to know or learn knitting jargon.

Leila Simonsen's Dog Sweater
The above links to a description by someone who tried Leila's pattern - go to "See more..." for the full explanation. (You may wish to copy and paste the instructions into Word or a text file, then break it up into paragraphs for easier reading).

Pup Sweater from Midnight Knitter
This knitting pattern appears simple to adapt for all sizes of dogs and should be a fairly easy beginner's project.

Staceyjoy Elkins' Chihuaha Sweater
This one is a good project for beginners to learn shaping (increasing and decreasing).

We hope you find a pattern or two among the above that work for you and your dog!
