How This Crochet Dog Jacket Is Constructed
You make this crochet dog jacket from traditional granny squares connected using the join-as-you-go method. The number of pieces depends on the size you want to achieve.
The coat features a snug head opening and a functional button closure under the neck. This makes it very easy to put on your pet as you don’t have to struggle to slip their legs through the armholes.
How To Measure Your Dog For The Odie Crochet Jacket
The pattern includes instructions for three crochet dog sweater sizes: S, M, and L. For each size, you’re going to work a different number of granny squares. That’s why this pattern is so easy to adjust to different dogs.
If you want to ensure the finished accessory fits your pet perfectly, you should measure the width of their chest and the length of their back first.
Yarn and Hook Required for This Dog Sweater Pattern
The sample seen in the photos was made using a 4 mm crochet hook and Berroco Lanas Light, which is a warm 100% wool yarn. It is an excellent choice for short-haired dogs that need extra warmth. The designer suggests using sport weight yarn, as it is thick enough to keep your dog warm without being too bulky.
