Dog Sweater Knitting Patterns

A little while back I shared a dog sweater knitting pattern with little fish on it, but just in case that’s not your style I wanted to share some more dog sweater knitting patterns for your furry friends.

If you want to keep it super simple, this one from Design for Dog looks pretty good. It’s made to fit a medium sized dog and includes little sleeves for the front legs for extra warmth. It only has one seam up the middle front so it’s pretty easy both to knit and to finish.

Muki Crafts has another easy dog sweater knitting pattern that has sleeves and a turtleneck. It comes in eight sizes and is worked in the round in worsted weight yarn. The pattern includes lots of photos as well as access to a knitalong video in case you need extra help.

This pattern worked in bulky yarn from Dotty Patterns comes in five sizes, and I love the little hole at the back so you can attach a leash. It’s worked in two flat pieces that are seamed after knitting.

And because we’re all about stash busting this time of year, check out the Stashbuster Dog Sweater from Jeslane on Ravelry. It calls for worsted weight yarn and is worked from the top down in the round. The pattern has instructions for a range of sizes but you can also make it custom to fit your dog.

Looking for something a little fancier? This cabled dog sweater from Wooly Cricket is super cute and comes in three sizes. The smallest sweater is worked in fingering weight yarn, while the other two are in DK.

If you want your dog to have a human style colorwork sweater, this one from Lucky Day Patterns with its classic Nordic snowflakes is a great option. Parts of this project are worked in the round while others are worked flat, but it’s all one piece. There are four size options and it calls for worsted weight yarn.

And finally, since this post started on a whimsical note, I couldn’t resist sharing the Personal Space Invaders dog sweater by Maytina Shank. This one is available in five sizes and worked in DK weight yarn. The pattern includes sleeves and an optional leash hole, and you can find in on Ravelry.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
