List of Ingredients

This is a rather simple/easy crochet trimmed sweatshirt
dog coat.

Trimmed Sweatshirt Dog Coat

sweatshirt sleeve of size needed for dog,
...(sew together pieces if necessary to get
...size needed)
yarn
yarn sewing needle
yarn hook

Remove cuff, if desired.
Measure from your dog's neck down the back to where the
tail starts, this will be the top of the sweater.
Then measure from the front of neck to the front legs,
and make slits for front leg holes.
(Make the holes larger than are needed, so the claws won't
get stuck or pulled.)
Measure the underside 1/2 way to back and mark.
Measure about 1/3 of the way down the legs.
Mark a "U" shape and cut out the solid "U" shape on the
underside for the opening there.
Make slits for back leg holes.

Thread yarn needle with yarn.
Sew a blanket stitch around the neck, leg holes, and
underside, trying to use small, even stitches.
Then single crochet to the collar, and legs.

If you don't want to crochet, just leave the ribbing on
the cuff of the sleeves for a collar. Then sew on more
material for legs.
