Dog Sweater Frequently Asked Questions
Can you crochet a dog sweater?
If you are looking for a great way to keep the little furry friend warm when it’s chilly out, you can crochet a dog sweater that’s easy, cozy, and fast to work up. And once you’ve got the hang of it, you can make sweaters in all sorts of colors and designs.
So whether you’re looking to keep your dog warm or simply want to add a touch of personality to their wardrobe, crocheting a sweater is a great option.
How to choose a crochet dog sweater pattern?
When selecting a pattern, remember to take your dog’s size and coat type into account. It’s also important to consider your dog’s level of activity. With so many variables to consider, it’s no surprise that finding the ideal crochet dog sweater pattern can be difficult.
Fortunately, we have a plethora of crochet dog sweater patterns here for you to choose from!
What kind of yarn do you use to crochet a dog sweater?
As every dog owner knows, dogs can be over-enthusiastic about a lot of things, and for that reason, a brand new crocheted sweater can end up in tatters if you don’t take some time to figure out the best yarn to use.
Depending on the type of sweater you’re after, your best bet will be either wool or acrylic yarn. The main criteria you should be looking for in a yarn when it comes to making dog sweaters, are that it’s washable and unlikely to succumb to wear and tear.
What measurements do I need to crochet a dog sweater?
Dogs come in so many shapes and size that it’s impossible to create a universally fitting dog sweater. So it’s best to take key measurements and adjust accordingly to ensure a custom fit for your dog sweater pattern.
- Length: Measure down the center back of your dog, from just below the collar to just above the base of the tail. Sweaters can be shorter than this length, depending on style, but never longer.
- Neck Circumference: Measure around your dog’s neck, just below the collar. Add about one inch (2.5 cm) for ease. The next two measurements will help determine correct placement of leg openings.
- Width Between Front Legs: Measure between the front legs at the tops of the legs (where the front legs meet the body). No additional ease is necessary with this measurement.
- Length from Neck to Leg Openings: Measure at center front, straight down from neck to top of front legs. No additional ease is necessary with this measurement.
- Chest Circumference: Measure around the widest part, generally just behind the front legs. Depending on the desired fit of the sweater (close fitting, loose fitting, or oversized) add from one to five inches of ease.
How much yarn do you need to crochet a dog sweater?
- If you use worsted-weight yarn, multiply your dog’s chest circumference times the back length. Divide the product by 50 for the number of ounces you will need. For example, if your dog’s chest is 18 inches and his back length is 14 inches, you would multiply 18 times 14 for a product of 252. Divide 252 by 50, which equals 5.04. You would need about 6 ounces of worsted-weight yarn for the project.
- For sport-weight yarn, follow the same method above, but divide the product by 30 for the correct number of ounces of yarn needed. If you calculate the same measurements as step one for sport-weight yarn and divide by 30, you get 8.4, so you would need about 9 ounces of sport-weight yarn.
- Always add extra yarn to your calculations, because everyone crochets using different thread tension, which affects the amount of yarn needed.
