Dandy Dog Sweater Companion Video: Free Crochet Pattern

[@claire2020]

Yay!! My dog, Daisy came from the shelter very matted and had to get drastically shaved and she's feeling pretty shy and embarassed about it, I'm making her this sweater to give her a little confidence boost! Thank you!!

[@ladydianna9512]

❤❤❤

[@Tinygluten]

I can’t believe this is free, it’s so well done and easy to follow. I’m following along now on row 19 and having fun! Thank you

[@HeartHookHome]

Wonderful! I am glad you are enjoying the pattern!

[@carolwaddell3951]

I just made the x-small and it fit my 4 lb poodle perfectly. You made it so easy to follow your instructions.

[@manjulaprakash1506]

So cute sweater . They are too loyal to Their family so they deserve this kind of love and respect to their pets. ( Soul mates) We salute you for your great contribution.🇮🇳🫡🙏😊👑🥳🥳🥳🥳🎊🎉🎆🎇🎆🛐

[@brigittesmith4358]

Thank you so much, Ashley. This is by far the best pattern out there. I made three sweaters in one afternoon for my three Maltese and they love them. I had to adjust a few rows to make them a custom fit and they turned out beautifully. I am very impressed with your video. Thank you again.

[@barbwyman9530]

can you give me a pattern for a Tea cup Chiuahua

[@samanthastark8810]

Brigitte. What did you adjust yours for ? I have a Malshi. Half matlese and Shitzu.

[@AmberGood-f5w]

This pattern is amazing!! It was easy to understand, saying that I'm only 13, and looks really cute as Christmas sweaters if you add a green and red stripe! I made it for my friend and I can't wait to give it to her!! C:

[@zbrown952]

Same here

[@bettythornton]

Thank you

[@thavylor]

Thank you very much. This is the best dog coat I've found. The stiches are nice not like those plain looking double crochet posts.

[@maryv6112]

Believe it or not, but I actually have to adjust this pattern to make it smaller! My Chihuahua is so small! I love how easy this pattern is! Love it!

[@elainewalsh9075]

Thank you! This was a big hit with my dog-niece. I made a small in green and added a shamrock appliqué. Now I’m making a Christmas sweater with red, white, and green I got on clearance.

[@HeartHookHome]

Wonderful!

[@colleen101100]

I’m not the best at reading patterns yet so this is a lifesaver! Can’t wait to make one!

[@ashleyfoster4373]

Loved "somewhere in the middle of this blob" lol thanks for the video. Great work and easy to follow along!

[@0606karla]

I made one and it turns out perfect 🖤, I just change the hook for one 3.5mm bc I have a Chihuahua, I love it, thanks.

[@kellymulrooney9776]

grateful for you Ashlea for taking the time to make this tutorial.. your instructions were crystal clear..thanks bunches

[@daisyalolemat1722]

Love the way you explain everything and show in which stitch we are going into next. You have a lot of patience and i am so thankful for that because i can learn and make my family nice stuff

[@HeartHookHome]

Thank you so much!

[@carrenlea330]

Thank you for sharing. I'm new at crochet and your patient explanations are perfect. My Jesse loves her jacket!

[@laranapinta32]

Thanks for sharing your pattern. I've made 3 size M for my sweet foster girl and one L for my puppy. I did have to add extra rows to adapt it to their bodies but I love how cute and easy they are to make. Thank you!

[@shellysalazar9351]

Hello! I know this comment was from 2 years ago but I’m having trouble with the row 13-25 for the medium size and I’m not getting 83 stitches and needed advice on what I’m doing wrong please 😅

[@Shirazie98]

How many chains did you crochet for the armholes?

[@deeturner7845]

OMG! Thanks for the video. I followed with the pattern and your video. Your right! I didn't care for the way the decreases looked but the last round of SC was the finishing touch. So cute! I don't have pets but I have friends who do.

[@tao6517]

Thank you! I had to adjust everything to make it work for my fur baby but it all worked out and looks great. I love the stitch!

[@panic_maniac]

Great tutorial, made a scrap yarn sweater following along the tutorial for our elderly family dog, super easy and managed to finish the project within a few hours! Now I’m just hoping it’ll actually fit her when I go visit them in two weeks. Fingers crossed!

[@HeartHookHome]

Wonderful!

[@slynnriley]

Well, you beat me lol! And actually this pattern has been very popular for me. I’ve been selling dog sweaters at a dog brewery where I live for a side hustle and I have made several for large dogs and finally found this video for the small smaller ones🤪

[@jessed7836]

Could you please make a companion video for you large dog sweater? I have a very hard time following written patterns, I learn visually :D please oh please

[@cathybradbury7231]

I am having a major problem with doing the size Large! Not understanding Row 1for the back flap?

[@TheChimerian]

@@cathybradbury7231 hi me too for this part, I am new, have you figured out the back flap row 1 ?

[@lilbitofsouthernspirit7788]

I made the xsmall & had to start over several times cuz my stitch count was off. There's videos on here for learning to read patterns. They're very helpful 🙂

[@jade-wr9pn]

I'm also a visual learner. Maybe you can use this video, but pause before she's done each step and keep going for your size. Then when you are done that row you can resume the video to the next step. The beginning and end of each row will still look the same as what she has done so hopefully you could still use it visually.

[@kimjohnson5212]

For other sizes just put in the size you need when searching. May not get this pattern thought.

[@crystalbpersuasion1449]

Made an xs for my senior cat in the Christmas one, came out great!! ❤

[@michelleday2012]

I absolutely love this pattern!! So easy to follow and looks beautiful as well. My little girl loves her sweater!!

The best demo ever! Very clear & precise! Love it!

So cute! I was hoping you'd show how to put it on the dog. I think with mine it might be like trying to put an octopus in a basket, but I'm definitely going to give it a go!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful tutorial, I was just looking for a pattern to do a sweater for a Yorkie ! This sweater is too cute ! 😍

[@cathybradbury7231]

I am having the same problem as a previous crafter! After I get the chest done, I am not understanding how to do the back flap. Row 1: Ch (16, 18,20), (sc, dc) in marked stitch, *sk next st, (sc, dc) in next* repeat between** (27, 29, 31) more times, ch-(16, 18, 20). Stitch count:(90, 98, 106). I am not understanding if the stitches we chained should be connected to make a loop? Also, after the last chain of 16, what do we do with the stitches that are left? Are they not worked? Please help! Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

[@megjones2525]

Can you make a video for the large dog sweater as well? I'm having issues with the back flap button holes and a visual would really help. Thanks for the awesome pattern!

[@noulanaulls6537]

That is exactly what is happening to me as I am making A large. Any help or suggestions?

My furby is a leggy cavachon with an almost greyhound looking chest. I'm hoping to kind of wing it and keep putting it on her as we go, there should be stretch in the fabric, yes? Is that pattern worked in even numbers?

Oh, thanks it's beautiful! ❤

I was hoping to ask for your help, I need to make a size that would fall in between XSmall and Small. Please and thank you😊

My Chihuahua is 5 lbs and impossible to find sweaters for that don’t cost a fortune. I’ve crocheted and knitted some for him. However, I really love the look of this one.

[@rmfishy]

I love this pattern, its the only one ive found so far that has noce big leg holes allowing the dog to move around

[@anneweinstein5778]

Any suggestions in on and where to add a hole to the back of this so it can be worn over a harness with the leash clip hook coming through?

[@CynthiaSamuels]

Thank you for this video. Can you please give us the measurements for your x-small sweater. I have a Yorkie that is 3.5 lbs so finding sweaters that work for her is challenging. Thank you😊

I’m trying to follow the pattern for a medium and I am lost at the arm holes. I did the single and double in the first sc and then skipped snd did the sc. what is next? I don’t understand on the written pattern either.

[@HeartHookHome]

You're welcome!

[@helgapoczos8881]

Hello, Thank you for sharing! May I ask why are you turning the work at the collar?

[@kaprory]

It hides the join I think.

[@ayumigilroy9745]

So on body parts row, till 20 rows, do i have to chain 1 and turn every time ?

[@bernicehenson2149]

Very cute, Love this pattern.. Thank you.

[@teashellharris8774]

So how many rows of skipping do you crochet for the small after making the collar?

[@ingeborgbrunner3950]

good question! im wondering too... any clue?

[@BlueLotusLife]

I love this pattern! Any suggestions for a stitch count for a size between the Med and Large? I’ve got a roly poly chihuahua. Neck 12”, Chest 18”, Belly 17”, Length 12”. I also have to shorten the ribbed collar because he’s only 3.5” from collar (neck) to whither (top of leg for leg hole.) He is a rescue and doesn’t like things too tight…so the medium pattern is just a bit too small, especially at the chest. Thanks!!!!! This is the best doggie sweater online by FAR!

[@HeartHookHome]

Hi Gina! I would probably just go up a hook size and do the medium...that should give a nice in-between size =)

[@liliths3746]

I finally finished my baby girl's sweater! Yay! I first started the medium pattern but it was way too big so I restarted the small and it worked for my 20 lb dog. I think the collar is too long though. How would I do only half of the collar? Thanks!

[@cloudyskies66]

I've made so many of these for my grand puppy. I love the pattern. How can I add a hood to it?

[@lakendracarpenter7676]

Hello! I made the small one, and I love it. I was trying to follow the one for a large dog, but I cannot figure out how to do the chest flap. For row 1 and 2 I have 18 stitches, and its to the side not the middle. I only have 2 rows and it looks like you have about 15. And how did you get it in the middle?? Please help!

[@saravallese7883]

I ran into a problem. I got to row 25 and i was 10 stitches short. Came up with 73 instead of the 83 i shouldnhave had. I followed everything to a tee. Went back and made sure my collar ended with the 53. Where did i go wrong????

[@jackiebarker8709]

In the large/xl dog pattern, where do I attach the wool for the back flap, row 1, after I have added a marker to the 18th stitch to the left of the chest flap?

[@crescentmu]

My dog’s neck is 12” and chest is 19” should I do a small or medium? (she has a *very* long and skinny neck so I know I’ll need to add a ton of length to the neck, and her body is *absurdly* long) so I’m needing to make something custom for her since I’ve yet to find anything that comes near to fitting her body type… hoping I can extend on the length once I get the initial fit right. Can’t decide which size would fit her best! What do you think based on the measurements?

[@ebonylocks9234]

Thanks for the info I made one for a first try mine came out pretty good.

Seems that a 28 inch lurcher, naturally slim, yet deep in ribs, v short in chest, has 20inch loop holes for legs has completely driven me demented between the extra large pattern, the medium pattern and the chest increase of the small dog. I'm at my wits end having tried and failed both buttoned flap- less than 2 inches in between front legs with a rib width of almost 3 inches. How to match the body or now considering cutting out the whole chest part completely so it's a collar with a couple of inches of increase then a full split almost, somehow with a belly band that decreases significantly a good 18 inches to above tail. Am ginger haired & vexed. Any help anyone? Lurcher or greyhound owners or experts PLS- been learning over 6months all the basics. Managed my working polecats jumpers no problem. Without a pattern. This is the reason I began abd I can't do it. I refuse to give up and buy one ready made. Pls help- anyone? God bless & TY for your time. Excuse the rant, have strained eyes, clicking wrists now & I think I ve pulled a muscle staring between patterns, tutorials and the pets. Just told the other half to go a long trek with his own hound for an hours peace. 36, game lassie. With the age gap he's blessed to be dead by the time my menapause hits. Chuckles. 🦊🐕
