Dog Knitting Patterns

August 7, 2024 by Sarah White

I feel like I should just share the Sleepy Puppy pattern from Huggable Bears on Etsy and call it a day because this one is so cute! I love how different it looks using different kinds of yarn so you can make it look more like your own dog. The best part? It’s knit flat and assembled so you can make the pieces just the way you want.

This dalmatian puppy from Dot Pebbles is also pretty darn adorable. I love how lifelike this one looks, and if you’re modeling it after a real dog you can change up the spots as you like.

Fluff and Fuzz has a ton of great dog knitting patterns, including Larry the Labradoodle, another project where the yarn really makes the difference. That one is in their Etsy shop, but I also found a free St. Bernard pattern on WoolBox if you want to try out one of their patterns before you buy.

Use up all your DK scraps to make the Long Long Dog by Annie Ah (available on Ravelry). This one comes out long enough to be a body pillow, and of course you can adjust the size depending on how much yarn you have. The pattern for these cuties is available in English and Korean.

If knitting a dog isn’t whimsical enough for you, why not knit a dog balloon animal like this one from Jamie McCanless? It’s name is Snooker and it’s made with fingering weight yarn, though you can use heavier weight yarn to make a bigger animal if you like. The pattern is on Ravelry.

Make a tiny dog with equally adorable tiny accessories with the Plysa pattern from Hélène Magnússon. This little sausage dog includes a knit sweater and a variety of scarves. It uses aran weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

Or make this little pug with a pattern from Olga Chepizhnaya on Ravelry. This one includes a ton of photos and uses basic knitting skills so you can make it even if you don’t have a ton of knitting experience.

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
