I had an assignment I needed to do that I was procrastinating like crazy, but when I saw your video I put my phone down, and told myself I couldn't watch it until I finished my work. I just finished it in about 20 minutes because of you and your dog, so I just wanted to say thank you for being what finally made me finish my work. I love your videos and your dog's licking thing is adorable!

[@mariaaugustagiardin1312]

I think I'll do that to make me finish the damn Marco polo assignment I have to do 💀😭

[@ginapellegrini2147]

I'm so glad to hear someone else has a dog that has a licking problem- I'm not the only one! : )

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

Your dog adores you. How sweet.

[@Megan-mw7ny]

Please do a beginner series!! So you can teach all us beginners on how to fix mistakes, start from scratch all of that jazz! I know you have done a few beginner videos but I’m sure I can and others, benefit from a step by step guide!

[@meganpatterson9444]

My favorite part was Benson constantly licking everything 😂 Love this sweater pattern!! I definitely need to try this out soon!!

[@ellataylorsversion13]

especially when he was just licking the air becuase jenna moved away😂😂

[@ashleygerrard1500]

My suggestion is since you have left over of the same colored yarn 🧶 then you should make a matching sweater for you of the same colors to match Benson that would be so cute 🥰

[@kariannyo5287]

What a handsome man! I love how far you’ve come with your knitting journey!

[@bridgettebollig2649]

I’ve listened to the Harry Potter series 4 times, read them them twice and cannot count the number of times I’ve watched the movies. Listening to Jim Dale read is my favorite! When Benson curled on your lap it just made me smile. My schnauzer, Prudence must be touching me and I feel like you, it’s just the best!!! And that sweater is fabulous!

[@CombustibleLint]

I followed this tutorial loosely, didn't buy the pattern, and so far it's coming out beautifully. I had to frog the tummy panel, and start over to make it more narrow for my dog, but as of today the torso/body section is all done. I have to start the neck portion and am considering picking up the stitches and knitting in the round decreasing as needed. Look up stretchy cast on and bind off methods for best results. Thanks for posting this! It was really easy, and my dog likes her new gear.

[@Midnightpigeon666]

I’m here for all the Benson fashion!! His new green jacket in your latest video is perfection. X

[@mimipitts3839]

Jenna, this was fantastic! You are a gift! Thanks for the sunshine in winter!🙏♥️🌞✌️👍🦮🧶♥️

[@DonnasWonderland]

Loved this Benson makes me smile so much he is so cute 🥰 and he looks very chic in his new sweater

[@izoldakombajnistka]

I must say I love your videos. Not every craft is something I'm interested in (but I've been crocheing since december because of you!) but despite that I reallt enjoy watching. Your energy and creativity is contagious and really really helps me through the hard time I have right now. Thank you for being here and for your work ❤️

[@maya-gur695]

This is the cutest thing I've seen today. I love dog sweaters so much.

[@varyaartsandcraftsandmore5396]

Benson is so cute! I love him! I want a dog now and I am going to crochet or even knit the dog a sweater

[@marccolomayt82094]

Cute Jenna, dog & colorful sweater! 💖💖💖

[@LTU89]

Benson is such a cutie. 😍 It is obvious that he loves you very much. So sweet. And great job with the sweater! I don't have a dog (yet) but will keep this video in mind in case that changes some day. One can hope.

[@felicityhollis4613]

OMG! The more I watch, the more I'm convinced our dogs are distantly related lol from the constant licking, to the falling asleep at all hours of the day, to the the stretches, the need to be in bed (or look like they need to be in bed) and the desire to be super warm (to the point where there little bare belly will almost burn your hand) these dogs are long lost brothers and its hilarious. I especially love how they're both getting grey and both are really good boys. The Benson and Brutus tales. Lol. Sounds like a kids book

[@Tiny_chgo]

He is so stinking cute in his couture sweater 💖

[@terrimassey9252]

He's such a good boi! Love him so much.

[@charlottevogel4732]

I could see his face when you said Vincent and he looked so scared by your tone 🥺 little cutie. Your two really are the cutest

[@EmpressCosplay]

What a cutie! Can't wait to go and knit my rescue Chihuahuas Luke and Leia little sweaters! Luke has a licking disorder, too. Most probably from being parted from his mom too soon. Apparently that's a thing!

[@ebonylocks9234]

Absolutely one of my favorite things to make is sweaters for my dog Vincent has a great mommy

[@katie-ke4bm]

Jenna im in LOVE with what you do.I would not be able to do any of this.I also have a reccomendation for what wou should crochet next🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁BUCKET HAT!I think that if you were to do this I would legit want to steal it😭😭😭😭

[@amf.96]

The clip of him breathing heavily made my day lol thank you for this wholesome content ❤

[@becca7333]

Finishing my current project ASAP to make my dogs their own jumpers. Love how it turned out and thankyou for the pattern!

[@cactopus6215]

Perfect timing, currently knitting. Love your videoes. Thanks for doing what you do

[@isabellecb]

me too!

[@lindabelcher5508]

Jenna, this is amazing I’ve been looking for a tiny sweater pattern for my stuffed bear from child hood, he used to have a sweater but it got messed up years ago and I haven’t been able to find one. This inspires me to attempt to make one, wish me luck!

[@karentzn]

How did your bear sweater go

[@moda78z]

He’s so cute in his new sweater 😍👍

[@missingthestarlight]

Benson is sooo similar to my dog Olive. Same size, same color, same need to constantly lick, basically same dog

[@nikkimorarie4024]

Mine too! I came to the comments to try and see if anyone knows what breed he is?

[@druzybear]

@@nikkimorarie4024 me too

[@hankcunnington2455]

I love waking up to a new video ! So excited for this one

[@mauraccc6491]

I was looking on hobbii for a cool pattern to make today and the first one that popped up was this cute little sweater!😍

[@Zahh1998]

this is so cute! and you cann make yourself a matchin scarf or beanie or gloves so when you walk together you can twin!!

[@lixltofu5857]

I love how you make your thumbnails! Also your so pretty

[@reaharrison5378]

He's just licking the air!!!!!! I love Benson :")

[@pizza1544]

I shit you not just yesterday I became possessed with the need to knit my dog a sweater and then today I see this. I have a pitbull who is very small but thicc af so I've struggled to find a coat that will fit her lmao. So thank u for this video!!

[@julietminusromeo1249]

The “my soup” scene reminded me of the dog from up- cracked me up😂

[@cathyclark5791]

I would wear that dog sweater! If I had a puppy, I would let them share it! You are awesome. Again your are hysterical. I love your channel.

[@lucindacooper8845]

watching benson just try to lick jenna and everything else is cracking me up so much lol super cute sweater jenna!

[@skibrieez]

I don't have a dog but watching the whole thing anyway cause this is adorable

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

I need XXS. I’ll just use a smaller weight yarn. Or maybe adjust the pattern. I love colorful sweaters too.

[@backwardsreesa225]

Now I already have a present idea for my inlaws dog next christmas! Amazing! Its so cute and looks easy enough for me to make

[@jaznz53]

Benson looks so cool in his new sweater.

[@lindsay6299]

I can’t wait to make a cute one for my CoCo!

[@stacynicholsdabel4229]

Measure from where to where, for the girth, for the back? Are we measuring the full circumference, or just the area the back panel will cover?

[@rio__chakraborty]

I am here for Benson content 😭❤️

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

A very cute dog, Jenna!🌹🌹❤️❤️🐶🐶

[@mindystewart792]

I really enjoy your videos and I enjoy watching Benson your dog so handsome in that sweater too

[@nancylangellier3458]

Benson looks so handsome. You did a wonderful job

[@OhShepiinkk]

ahhh this is legit so perfect for my two dogs who also barley have any fur on their belly. I’m definitely going to make both a sweater since there is a storm here since a few days and they are very cold :(

[@Acecidic]

honestly can relate to Benson's licking disorder 😂, my dog is a miniature pincher and she DOESN'T STOP LICKING! sometimes she just licks the air and me and my sister has just called it her having the lickey lips! 😂

[@TheAlteress]

Yassss Benson looks so good in the sweater he's rocking it lol love your content! 🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼😄

[@bgummeson]

The Benson sweater is so cute and meets the most important criterion for boy dog clothing! 😂 Have you knitted socks? Marly Bird has a free pattern My First Socks in worsted weight, which goes pretty fast. Once you’ve knitted one and get a feel for the construction, you’re good to go on trying different weights of yarn, cuff down or toe up, and all sorts of heels. I wear my wool hand-knitted socks around the house and they’re great because they don’t need washed as often. But I don’t like them in my ‘runners’ (you can take the girl out of 🇨🇦 but you can’t take 🇨🇦 out of the girl!).

[@all9pls]

loves her so much honestly

[@luliarias4530]

I love Benson!

[@hatmanusara9963]

i loooooove your creativityyy

[@whozitsandwhatzits194]

Girl. I've never read the Harry Potter books or watched the movies either! I thought I was the ONLY one. Kindred spirit here! But I'm gonna start reading and watching because I really wanna go to Universal Studios the next time I go to Disney World. And I don't wanna be in the Harry Potter area and completely confused and lost... looking like a loser. 😆 By the way, I love Benson! He's a cutie 💓 and he'll look all snuggly in his new sweater.

[@febrybpayyapilly4949]

It looks so cute ❤️❤️

[@applemartiniNYC]

Love how cute it looks, Benson is the Bomb😁 he loves giving you kisses awwww🥰

[@joannalee67]

Merry Christmas to you ⛄

[@RockyMountainGrandma]

Fantastic sweater! My dog Bruce also has a licking problem.

[@sophiaswatch3189]

I really enjoyed your videos! I’m watching it right now while knitting 😊

[@TarotLadyLissa]

Ok, we would be besties irl if we met! I knit, crochet, read, love dogs AND my favorite thing to eat is soup!!! My friends even make fun of my affinity for soup! lol

[@irrelevantmrna3400]

my dog has the same issue with licking! but for him it’s a self soothing for his anxiety :)

[@sigynlaufeyson3631]

I have a dog and she is almost exactly your doggos twin. I mean it’s crazy how much they look alike!

[@cynthia2553]

Hi Jenna!!! First of all, I love your videos; secondly, I love that music you play in the beginning...would you happen to have a link for more of that??🧶🧶🧶♥️♥️♥️

[@xaxaferreira_]

What a handsome boy (and sweater)! I also hate short pet sweaters... they make me feel like my cat should also be wearing pants lol

[@sweetd0267]

The licking was killing me 😂😂😂 his little searching eyes when your hand is out of reach 💔

[@bonnie.yarbrough]

Jenna is such a Hufflepuff, which is great because I’m a Hufflepuff 🥰💛

[@karenhenry1233]

Is there any way to find out or figure out how much yarn you need to do only one or maybe two colors? Don't want to buy five skeins of yarn and have a lot leftover. Trying to trim the yarn stash!

[@amparomeza_1208]

Yours is such a spoiled and elegant dog... Pure wool! I have never made myself such a treat... 🤣, Besides, its very itchy for me 🫢

[@Hhaileyyhunt]

I love it! I made my dog one but I crocheted it!

[@kzookid2051]

Maybe when you posted this the Hobbii site was worth joining, but for now it's a give-us-your-info-in-return-for-nothing site. I'm glad your video had enough information to make the sweater without the pattern.

[@marleyrose1179]

benson licking the air is killing me😭

[@karendewillers5190]

What kind of dog is Benson? I am considering getting a dog but need one who doesn't need a lot of exercise or walking because I am struggling with bad knees and poor balance. Thanks for your help.

[@JeddieMPB]

I think sticking with smaller breeds is a good idea! I’m not sure what benson is but adopting a dog that isn’t a puppy would probably be best for your case because dogs who are younger have more energy and require more walking and playing to get that energy out. I have a yorkie and he’s 100% content with a short walk and then being able to run outside in our fenced in yard for a little while each day. Other than that he sleeps right next to me while I work.

[@leeanneaquilina]

Pure wool. How are you going to stop it from felting when you wash it?

[@Wildflower-h8d]

Looks great!

[@lindahutchings5394]

So cute!

[@sarah_cate_art]

what a cutie!

[@janvincentgutierrez6931]

[@jilliancarboni2293]

[@lilyclinehens750]

Do you have a pattern for the scarf on the mannequin in the background? Preferably a crochet one?

[@bonnie.yarbrough]

[@chickenyards]

[@elizabetharmendariz6004]

how did you meet Benson and how long have you had him?

[@LUcyaSews]

[@katiecannon7557]

Flemish Giant Rabbits need this sweater

[@jennelson2319]

My dog is Mr. Bennett, and he has a very similar licking disorder. Too funny. 😂

[@elizabethsteer7805]

Can you tell me how many stitches to start with please?

[@patriciasiefert7140]

[@marilirosales1281]
