I designed this sweater
for my Miniature Schnauzer, Schotzi.
So many people asked for the alterations for Tim and Lil (pictured below)
that their owner, Linda Fleisch,
made another sweater so we could post her instructions.
This is Schotzi (my dog) |
This is Tim and Lil. |
 This is Binky wearing a sweater made by Linda Fleisch using the directions below. Binky weighs approximately 4 pounds. |
The original dog sweater pattern
was designed by Lisa Hamblin.
Please, only
copy or print for personal use.
The pattern below is an altered version made by Linda Fleisch.
Please email
Linda if you find any errors. Thank You.
MATERIALS:
Hook: Size G (I use Boye brand)
Yarn: 4ply worsted weight yarn.
Stitches used: ch, sl st, hdc.
Difficulty: Easy (since there are no leg holes to shape)
Hi Lisa,
As promised I made another sweater suitable for a Chihuahua or other tiny dog.
This will fit a dog weighing between 3 and 6 pounds
RND 1:Using a G hook ch 40, join with sl st being careful not to twist the chain. Ch2, hdc in next ch and in ea ch around. Join with sl st in top of beg ch2. Ch 2. DO NOT TURN
RND 2 -7: Hdc in next st and in ea st around. Join with sl st in top of beg ch 2. CH2. DO NOT TURN
RND 8: Sl st in next 10 sts, ch 2, hdc in next 19 sts (20 including beg ch 2) ch 2 TURN
ROWS 9-13: Hdc in ea hdc, ch 2, TURN.
RND 14: Hdc in ea hdc, ch 10. DO NOT TURN. Join with sl st to opposite side of row just completed, ch 2
RND 15: Hdc in ea st and ch around, ch 2 DO NOT TURN
RND 16-17 Repeat Rnd 15.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
I used a 4 ply worsted weight yarn. To make this smaller or larger use the same directions but use a smaller or larger hook. A smaller hook and sport weight yarn will make a smaller sweater also. If one needs a longer sweater extra rows/rnds can be added in rows 9-13 and/or rnds 2-7 and/or 16-17.
If the neck part looks like it might be too tight to add a couple of chains to rnd 14.
Linda
HAPPY CROCHETING
