Crochet a dog ruffle layered dress | Small | Full tutorial

[@irisgraeber2684]

I absolutely love this. The way the pattern does the chest fits the dog perfectly and eliminates the wrinkle we see at the top of the shoulders on so many patterns. It's genius. I also like the neckline, as opposed to the typical bulky cuff. Your video is excellent at teaching. I added a few extra increases because Mini Schnauzers have deep chests, plus I made the back longer for her long back. She gets cold. I've saved this as my foundation pattern and made a Word doc with instructions including how I've altered it to fit her. Sleeveless is much easier to put on the dog, and I think looks better. I've made two dresses from your wonderful pattern already. One is hot pink with four rows of tightly bunched ruffles on the rump, two pink and two white, white shell trim at the top half of the arm holes, and a big crocheted white rose with leaves up near the neck (attached very well so she can't eat it). That's one for dress up and it's a knock-out. The second is intended for every day use in a variegated yarn in two shades of teal, white, and gold (not metallic) with neckline and armhole trim and one ruffle around the end all in the same gold color, with the end tapered to a gentle curve. I'm thinking of crocheting a big gold sunflower for that one but want to wait and see where her harness will sit before deciding. It's adorable, but not over the top. If a dog needs a sweater we might as well make it attractive, right? And be able to pop in the laundry and come out looking good. Great stash buster, too. Thanks so much for your invaluable help!

Aww so sweet! Your puppers definitely gets lots of care and Love. You are also very creative with the colour and cool designing for your dog dresses (as you have explained in such good detail in your comment) as if you have shown the dresses to me :).

I just met my new pug puppy tonight. She will be ready for me to adopt her October 8th. That gives me couple weeks to make a dress … hope it works lol❤

[@crochetit]

Aww that is so sweet! 🥹 She must be so excited to get adopted, loved and taken care of by a loving owner like you❤️. What will this sweet puppy’s name be?

[@monikaorchard]

Hi, I have a yorkie I liked to crochet this dress for my puppy she is a few weeks old but growing out a sweater I had on had so what you can do is have a sweater to see how well it fits that it could guide to how the new seater or dress will fit I hope this helps with your project so when you measure in inches we crochet in inches

[@koanah4314]

Mine turned out a little sideways I don’t know what I did wrong 😭

[@SarahLewin-e9r]

I know this is a few years old but it would help if you time stamped when you started a new round.

[@monikaorchard]

hi , this patter is very pretty but can you use regular inches I’m not familiar with metric measurements

[@SarahLewin-e9r]

You can convert it: 2.5cm=1inch

[@crochetit]

Hi, no sorry. :)

[@llamalover6540]

for rounds 14-18 do you go around the whole piece 5 times or just the sleeve/arm hole area?

[@crochetit]

For rnd 14 to 18 you are just going to dc 1 into each stitch all the way around the whole piece (5 rounds in total).

[@Mylittlecosycottage]

@@crochetit HI :) Im on this step now-In the video you do 2 ch and then start the dc-But should you right away do 1dc? or should all 5 rounds be started with 2 ch? How do you end those rounds?

[@Mylittlecosycottage]

Is it ch 2, dc 61, sl in second ch x 5? (62)

[@murielfields7445]

When you slip, stitch into the 2nd chain from hook. Does it make the count 49 chains instead of 50?

[@crochetit]

It makes it 50 sts because the ch 2 in the beginning of the round count as a double crochet.

[@ART-rm2dr]

From round 14-18, do you continue to slip stitch into the chain 2?

[@crochetit]

For round 14-18 you are just going to do dc 1 into each st around for 5 rounds and when you finish a round you will do a slip stitch into the 2nd ch to lose off a round.

[@ART-rm2dr]

[@monikaorchard]

Hi, a double crochet is a st in crocheting and so on there is a single crochet which a smaller stitch which you use crochet hook into the hole of previous row to create the stitch for double crochet stitch is yarn over your hook then inset in the row below then pull yarn through the 2loops on hook then yarn over again and pull hook through the last 2 loops on hook there’s your double crochet stitch

I don’t get round 3-4 I finished the round 3 but I don’t get round 4. How’d you do round 4? Pls tell me😢

[@crochetit]

I will try my best. Here are some of the crochet abbreviation. •dc = double crochet •ch = chain •fpdc = front post double crochet •bpdc = back post double crochet •*…* = repeat whatever is between the asterisks •[…] = total number of stitches between the brackets Rnd 3-4: ch 2 (ch 2 counts as a dc), fpdc 1, * bpdc 1, fpdc 1 * all the way around, sl st 1 into the 2nd ch [50] (2 rounds) I hope this helps 🤗

[@sunnywolfie6610]

I know the abbreviation but you know after round 3, what did you do? Do you repeat fpdc and bpdc after you finish round 3? If so, I did it but when I did it, it was chunky so I’m not sure what you did cause you did your finger around and up. Please tell me.😅

[@pragnaparmar9124]

DC means double crochet

[@crochetit]

Yes ✨

[@mariaanca5348]

I want to make the same dress like yours

[@crochetit]

Well i know that if you use a thicker yarn size the the dress will come a little bigger out or you can use the same thickness of yarn, but by using a bigger size crochet hook, the stitches will be more loosely and the dress will be more stretchy to fit the dog. Well you will never know until you give it a try. This is just my guess, but you will never know until you give a try :)

Ok so for this pattern I used a 4.0mm crochet hook, which makes the stitches of the dress not too tight and not too loose. But if you use a 4.5mm crochet hook it can make the stitches of the dress more loose if you want to make it fit a little bit loosely

[@meraryd3250]

If I were you I’d just crochet the first chains to fit the dogs neck let’s say that you chain 67, even it out to 70 so in each round that she’s increasing in, you can increase evenly and see how it’s fitting your dog as you go to see if it’s fitting right. I’m no expert I’ve just started crocheting for about two months now but maybe try that and see how it works for you. I’m not sure if you’ve already done the dress since your comment is a bit old.

How can I make it a large

[@tamaraflanagan7767]

Hi, still learning... What do you mean 8 dc inc 1 When you say 9 dc inc 1 x4 ???

[@sami5313]

an inc is when u do 2 dcs into one stitch, so “8dc inc 1” is 8dc (1 dc in the next 8 stitches) and then 2dcs in one stitch (which is called an increase abbreviated to inc.) as for 9 dc inc 1 x4, its the same thing as the explanation above, the “x4” just means you repeat it 4 times until u reach the end of the row. i hope this helps :)

[@candismith4080]

I don't understand where you are putting the increases at? Can you explain that? Been crocheting 40 years and when increasing I always would increase at the start which would be Ch2, dc in same stitch, is that what you mean?

[@crochetit]

Well when I say in the tutorial that the ch 2 counts as a dc and you have to make an increase, I just place a dc into the sam place as the ch 2. But if I say the ch 2 doesn’t count as a dc in this part of the pattern it means that the ch 2 is just for the hight of the dc. So when you have to start with an inc you can place 2 dc sts into the same place as the ch 2. Hope this will help :)
