Here is an example of a sleeveless jacket for a small dog

Vest with fringes

You will need:
50 g of beige yarn, 20 g each of brown and terracotta (100% wool, 250 m / 100 g), straight or circular knitting needles No. 2.5, crochet hook.

Knitting density:
elastic band 2 × 2 30 p. \u003d 10 cm, front surface 25 p. \u003d 10 cm, 40 p. = 10 cm.

Loop calculation
Take measurements from the dog and calculate the number of loops.

neck girth- 21 cm (63 p. + 2 cr. p. \u003d 65 p., round up to 66 p., since their number must be a multiple of 3); 1/3 girth ~ 7 cm (21 p. + 1 p. for the symmetry of the gum 2 × 2 = 22 p.); 1/12 girth ~ 1.8 cm x 2 = 3.6 cm (11 p.) - armhole width at the beginning of knitting.

Bust- 35 cm + 2 cm for a loose fit = 37 cm (111 p.); 1/2 girth (width of the back and tummy) - 18.5 cm each (56 p.)

R distance from the withers to the middle of the back- 11 cm.

armhole height: distance from the base of the neck to the end of the front paw + 1 cm = 7 cm (28 p.)

Armhole depth: for small dogs 2 cm (6 p.). 1/2 chest circumference - 1/3 neck circumference - armhole depth = 18.5 cm - 7 cm - 4 cm (2 cm for each armhole) = 7.5 cm (18 p.); 18 p.: 2 = 9 p.; Therefore, when knitting armholes, add 9 sts from each edge of the tummy and back.

5:4

To find out how many rows to add loops, divide the distance from the base of the neck to the end of the front paw + 1 cm by the number of loops added: 7 cm = 28 p.; 28 p.: 9 p. = 3 p. This means that yarn overs must be made along the edges of each 3rd p.

Back/tummy

Cast on 66 sts with a beige thread. With a 2 × 2 elastic band, tie a collar 12 cm high, making strips of the same width with dark brown and terracotta yarn. Bind off 11 sts, knit 22. (tummy), bind off 11 sts, knit 22 faces. (back).

Flip knitting: knit 22 out. (back), then take the thread from the second ball and knit 22 out. (tummy). You can collect the loops of one part on a knitting pin and knit later.

Next, knit the back and tummy 28 p. stitch, making yarn over the edges of each 3 p. (9 times). The volume of parts will increase by 18 sts. Knit the first and last 3 sts in garter stitch so that the edges do not wrap. Then, along the edges of each part, dial 7 air. p. (armhole depth = 6 p. + 1 cr. p.). Now in each part there are 54 sts (22 sts + 18 sts + (2 × 7 sts), but you need 56 sts (18.5 cm). Add the missing 2 sts when switching from knitting to elastic 2 ×2, yarn over evenly spaced 2. Rib 2×2 work another 4 cm, making colored stripes as on the collar.

Assembly
Sew the details of the sleeveless jacket and use a crochet hook to make a fringe on the collar from dark brown and terracotta yarn.

Clothes without seams

Clothes with a hood

It is knitted by adding and decreasing loops in the right places.

Measuring the circumference of the neck
Bust
Waist
Leg circumference
The distance from the "collar" to the paws of the dog

Naturally, each dog has its own size.

Calculate loops. The yarn is different.
We collect loops on knitting needles equal to the girth of the neck.

We knit a collar.

After the collar, we divide the knitting into three parts. It depends on where the fastener will be. If on the belly, then approximately 15 loops on the sides and everything else is the back.

The number of loops depends on the density of the yarn (threads)
We add in each 2nd row one loop to the center from the sidewalls.

So we knit to the paws. Before the start of the hole for the paws.

Then these three parts are connected and knitted together. Approx 3 cm.
Then we begin to decrease the loops in the middle of the hole for the legs. Approximately two loops in every 4th row.
And so, until the end of knitting. I get 35-36 cm from the neck to the brace with an elastic band.

Well, the design, as a fantasy, will tell you!
It is tied with an elastic band with stocking knitting needles for armholes, straps.
You can make holes for tassels after knitting the collar and stretch the cord with tassels, etc.

For girls, I knit the belly to the end of the canvas, for boys it is better 8 cm from the armholes and close the loops. Continue the required distance only in the central part - the back. Everything is individual and needs to be measured. To sit nice!

Hood can be knitted as a heel to sock. Make it removable with buttons or ties.

Knitted dog sweater

Here is the principle of knitting these sweaters and the basic pattern!

We knit these sweaters from the collar. Calculate the number of loops for the gate. If it is high with a lapel, increase its length by 2 - 4 cm so that after stitching the product, the collar does not squeeze the neck. Also add loops for symmetry, for example, when sewing the edges of a collar knitted with an elastic band 1 × 1, 1 front and 1 wrong loop must be joined, otherwise the seam will be noticeable.

So that the sweater can be worn over the collar and at the same time fasten the leash without any problems, make a hole in the collar for the collar ring. To do this, when knitting the penultimate row of the gate in the place where the middle of the back will be, close 3-5 loops in a row, and in the next row dial the same amount of air. When the collar is ready, divide the knitting into two unequal parts: 1/3 loops - the tummy, 2/3 loops - the back. They can be knitted at the same time from two balls or collect the loops of the tummy on a knitting pin and knit it later.

The depth of the armhole depends on the size of the dog.

For small dogs(Yorkshire Terrier, Toy Terrier, Chihuahua) it is 1 - 1.5 cm,

for medium(poodle, dachshund, jack russell terrier, white terrier) - 2 - 2.5 cm, for larger dogs- 3 cm or more.

To find out the height of the armhole, measure the girth of the front leg, add 1 cm, calculate 1/2 of the girth and subtract from it twice the depth of the armhole. If you plan to trim the armholes with an elastic band, then increase their height and depth by 1 cm. After both parts of the sweater are ready, sew them: first, sew the shoulder seams (sewing the edges of the collar), and then the side seams.

For details on how to calculate loops for a sleeveless sweater, see the description of the sweater.

Sleeveless dog sweater "Heart"

There are two ways to reduce the width of the back:
1. Smoothly: knit 2 loops together along the edges of the back in every second front row;
2. Sharply: knit 2 loops together along the edges of the back of the fabric in each front row.

The edges of the back, tied stockinette stitch, wrap and spoil the appearance of the product. To prevent this from happening, by knitting the back to the length of the tummy, knit the first and last 3-4 loops with a garter stitch (that is, all rows of faces. p.).

With any pattern, the last 1.5 - 2 cm of the back is best knitted with an elastic band. Then the product will take on a finished look, and the back will not lift up. If there are voluminous braids in the pattern, then when switching to an elastic band, knit all braid loops 2 loops together

1 - 1/3 neck girth;
2 - 2/3 neck girth;
3 - the distance from the base of the neck to the front paw (this measurement is inaccurate and serves to calculate the approximate number of crochets along the edges of the parts);
4 - distance between the front paws + 2 cm (allowance for armholes);
5 - back width = (chest girth + 3 cm) - (distance between front legs + 2 cm);
6 - length of the tummy = distance from the base of the neck to the middle of the abdomen or to the hind leg);
7 - back length;
8 - the height of the armhole of the front paw girth increased by 1 cm (or by 2 cm if the girth is very small) - the depth of the armhole x 2;
9 - armhole depth = 1 - 3 cm (depending on the size of the dog). If you plan to trim the armhole with an elastic band, increase its height and depth by 1 cm.

If the distance from the base of the neck to the beginning of the front paw (measurement 3) is more than 3 cm, then the vertical distance from the collar to the beginning of the armhole (b) may not correspond to the value of measurement 3, since it goes along an oblique (a). That is, the actual number of rows will be less than the number that you get when calculating the loops on a regular sample of 10 × 10 cm. To make the correct calculation, knit the sample by knitting at the end of the front rows, or calculate the yarns approximately: if measure 3 is 3 cm, make 3 - 4 yarn overs, one from each edge of the front rows of the fabric, 4 cm - 5 yarn overs, 5 cm - 6 yarn overs, 6 cm - 7 yarn overs, 6.5 cm - 8 yarn overs.

Here is another version of knitted clothes for our kids!

the simplest thing you can think of.

You will need:
100 g of brown melange yarn (50% wool, 50% acrylic, 280 m / 100 g), knitting needles No. 2.5, brown buttons (5 pcs.), Needle with a wide eye.

Knitting density:
gum 2 × 2 26 p. \u003d 10 cm, 28 p. = 10 cm,
garter stitch 25 p. = 10 cm.

Loop calculation
Take measurements from the dog and calculate the loops.

Length of the product- 25 cm.
Bust- 53 cm (137 p. - 1 p. for the symmetry of the gum 2 × 2 = 136 p.)
neck girth- 30 cm (78 p. + 2 cr. p. = 80 p.)
Distance from the base of the neck to the front paw- 7 cm (20 rubles)
Front leg circumference- 20 cm; 1/2 girth - 10 cm, 1/6 girth (armhole depth) = 3 cm (8 p.), Therefore, 136p. - (8 p. x 2) = 120 p.; 120 p. : 3 \u003d 40 p. (15 cm) the width of the tummy and each shelf
Armhole Height: 10 cm - 3 cm (armhole depth) = 7 cm (20 p.)
Plank (2 pcs.) - 25 cm = 62 p.

Description of work
Cast on 136 sts and work 11 cm (30 p.) Rib 2x2. Then knit 40 sts (first shelf), close 8 sts (armhole), knit another 40 sts (tummy), again close 8 sts (armhole), knit the remaining 40 sts (second shelf).

Flip knitting and knit 40 p. of the second shelf, then take the thread from the second ball and knit the loops of the tummy, then with the thread from the third ball - the loops of the first shelf. Thus, knit 20 p. Then dial 8 air. n. over closed loops. Knit in a straight line 1 cm (3 p.). Then, in three steps, begin to decrease the loops: 136 p. - 80 p. = 56 p.; 56 p.: 3 \u003d 18 p. So, at a time you need to reduce 18 p.:

1st row- with an elastic band 2 × 2, 2 p. Vm. every 7 p.;
2nd, 3rd, 4th rows- according to the drawing;
5th row- with an elastic band 2 × 2, 2 p. Vm. every 6 sts;
6th, 7th, 8th rows- according to the drawing;
9th row- with an elastic band 2 × 2, 2 p. Vm. every 5 sts
Knit the remaining 8 p. in a straight line and close the hinges. Cast on 62 sts for plank and work 2.5 cm in garter stitch. On the other bar, make five buttonholes at regular intervals. Sew the straps to the sweatshirt shelves. Sew buttons on one of the straps. Quilt the collar from the inside with rubber thread in 2-3 rows.

CHILDREN - DAX - a sweater for you!

(shortening the length of the back - we adjust to the size of your dog)

As a rule, it is difficult to calculate a sweater for a taxi. it has non-standard measurements….. the simplest calculation for you:

such a wonderful sweater - very comfortable to work with ... .. let's start.

*So, to knit a dachshund sweater, we will need from 50 to 200 g of yarn (depending on the size of the dog), a set of stocking needles (5 pcs.) And circular knitting needles of 2 numbers, usually No. 3 and 3.5 or 4, depending on the thickness of the yarn.

* Measuring the circumference of the dog's neck in the place where a tightly worn collar is usually located and cast on the required number of loops on smaller needles. We close the knitting in a ring and knit the required number of rows around the neck (in this example, the neck is tied with a double rubber band)

Next, we distribute the loops by trying on our neck on the dog. I took the same number of loops on the back and breast, 3 loops on the sleeves and 6 loops on the raglan lines (4 p. braids and 1 out. loop on the sides of it). I knit the sweater in stockinette stitch.

At the same time, we reduce the loops for the breast between the legs

Then we remove the loops of the back and sleeves on knitting needles with a fishing line (you can use a strong thread) and knit the breast in straight and reverse rows

This is necessary for a good fit of the sweater, because the breast in taxi clothes should be much longer and more voluminous than the back, in the process of knitting the breast we add loops so that the breast and back come together around the elbows:

We leave the loops of the sleeves on knitting needles with fishing line:

We combine the loops of the breast and back, knitting the extreme loops so that between the halves of the braid we get 1 out. loop and knit in a circle torso, if necessary, to the waist we reduce the extra loops of the tummy:

something like that…….

Dedicated to needlewomen who confidently hold knitting needles and hooks in their hands.

You can create a unique wardrobe for your pet by creating a range of knitted clothes for that terrier with your own hands.

Types of yarn for knitting.

Taking into account the propensity of toys to the manifestation of allergic reactions, the choice of yarn should be especially carefully approached. You need to knit things for a pet from natural yarn:

• cotton and linen. Eco-friendly, pesticide-free grown, dyed with natural dyes, cotton and linen yarns are durable and dry quickly after absorbing moisture. If you are thinking about how to knit a sweater for that terrier for walks in spring and autumn, then cotton or linen threads will do just fine.
• silk (natural or artificial). Summer options for dog things made of natural silk will allow the dog to be fashionable on the street, but the skin will breathe and not overheat. Artificial silk in its pure form is not used to create a new thing, but is added to cotton or linen.
• wool. A woolen sweater, jacket or overalls will be appropriate in the winter, because wool is inherent in elasticity and lightness. Comfort for the pet is ensured by adding vegetable or artificial fiber to the product.
• angora wool. Angora wool products in their pure form for toy terriers do not fit. When knitting, be sure to add a thread of merino wool or acrylic fiber.
• merino wool. The yarn is very expensive, so a pure merino wool product can cost you a pretty penny. To reduce the cost of a toy thing, look for yarn that includes a different fiber. But even despite the presence of various additional threads in merino wool, today clothes made from such yarn are the warmest and most practical for toy terriers.
• camel wool. To make your pet comfortable in things made of this type of wool, take soft yarn.
• mohair. Beautiful yarn of various colors will allow you to competently combine and create unique products. And the fluffiness of mohair gives things an extra zest.
• cashmere. If you are a fan of this yarn, then keep in mind that cashmere is not suitable for knitting dog clothes, as it is not stable in wear and washing.
• viscose. Combining viscose with cotton or linen thread, you can knit a lot of things for your favorite dog.
• fancy yarn (boucle, ribbon thread, etc.) is used to create stylish little things.

Knitted clothes for that terrier.

From the threads of yarn to that terrier you can knit:

• blanket.
• sleeveless/vest.
• sweater, jacket.
• overalls.
• Italian greyhound.
• booties for home.
• hats and caps.

Knitted clothes for toy terriers with their own hands.

For craftswomen who delight households with their knitted products, you can skip the preparatory stages (they already know everything). But for those who want to try to create clothes for a pet with their own hands, it is worth preparing by carefully studying and following our tips on knitting for that terrier with knitting needles / crochet.

We take measurements for knitted clothes.

We arm ourselves with a centimeter tape, a pen and paper to record the measurements taken.

• we call that terrier to us and give the command “Sit!”.
• measure the circumference of the neck. If the pet dodges from you, then to take this measurement, you can measure the collar.
• The following measurements are made when the dog is standing.
• the length of the desired product is measured from the place where the collar is on the dog to the tail. If you want the dog's butt to be visible from under the thing, then the distance will be less.
• behind the front paws we measure the girth of the chest.
• The length of the sleeve is measured according to the dog's leg, and then adjusted during the knitting process.

We knit for that terrier. Scheme.

the number of loops is calculated depending on the measurements of the animal. In order not to be mistaken with the quantity, knit a sample of the selected pattern to calculate how many loops will be needed from it.

if you are going to knit a jacket, then knit each detail separately (back, sleeve, chest, collar). And then sew them together.

• for the manufacture of a vest, a round knitting method is suitable.
• the blanket should be knitted with a solid thread, trying not to interrupt.

Take advantage step by step instructions knitting to knit a sweater for that terrier.

• based on the volume of the chest, we collect loops. The approximate number for that terrier is 88 loops.
• start knitting from the collar zone. If your toy terrier is a mini, then reduce the number of loops by 20 pieces.
• having typed loops, start knitting with a regular elastic band for about four centimeters.
• next, divide the loops into five identical parts and knit the first two with an elastic band, then the middle part with the front surface, and again two parts with an elastic band.
• add the number of loops to the girth of the chest.
• after about 6-7 centimeters, we begin to leave cuts for the legs.
• reaching the end of the product (we are guided by the length of the thing). We transfer the loops to different knitting needles and knit the back with the front stitch.
• closer to the end of the thing, begin to narrow the sweater so that it does not hang on the toy with a shapeless rag.
• tie an elastic band around the edge of the sweater.
• the sweater should be sewn with edge loops.

A sweater for that terrier is crocheted according to the same principle.

Caring for your beloved dog is a rather scrupulous business. Vaccinations, vitamins, specialized food, leashes, collars are the most necessary things for her. And also daily walks with your pet. And it's good if it's summer outside. What do you do when it's cold outside? This is where a dog sweater comes in handy. Created with your own hands, it will not only warm your pet in the cold, but also make it unique among others on a walk.

What it is?

Short-haired or small dogs on a walk in the cold season often freeze. That is why they begin to ask for their master's arms and drag him home. Here in such a situation, warm clothes for the animal come in handy. Of course, pet stores offer many options for clothing for animals, only a hand-made thing looks much better, and can also be absolutely any color and shape.

If you're not great at sewing but love to knit, update your pet's wardrobe with style. Plus, the items you create will fit your dog's size exactly without bulging or squeezing too much.

Taking measurements

Having increased the number of loops and knitted several rows, it's time to remember about the holes for the paws. They are knitted very simply - part of the loops is closed, and in the next row air is typed, and the pattern continues.

We sew the edges of the sweater, the seam is obtained on the tummy. In some models, instead of a seam, a zipper is sewn in or buttons are sewn on. The main thing is to remember that accessories should be well sewn, because dogs love to gnaw everything.

For especially small breeds or dogs without hair, sleeves are additionally knitted to such a sweater, which are then sewn to the base of the product.

If you know how to knit on several needles, you can make a pet sweater without seams.

This product is a little easier to knit than with knitting needles. The fact is that you can knit it both according to patterns and without them, knowing only the main dimensions of the dog. In addition, the direction of knitting can also be different - from the waistline to the collar, or from the neckline to the ponytail.

First and most important rule, which experienced knitters talk about - it must be remembered that the basis of any sweater for an animal is a pipe. If this is taken into account, the implementation of the product will become much easier.

The simplest knitting pattern is the execution of ordinary single crochet stitches. This knitting is fast, the increase in the canvas occurs due to a set of air loops.

First, the neck is knitted to the required height. After that, it is sewn together, and from the resulting pipe, the product further expands to the slots for the paws. After making the slits, the product is knitted in the same width (tapers slightly closer to the tail).

An excellent solution would be to choose a Sweater for a dog in this case it will look very attractive and bright.

Conclusion

As you can see, dressing your pet in a hand-knitted sweater is quite a simple, exciting thing. In addition, in a sweater made of natural materials, no bad weather will prevent your pet from enjoying walks.

Now not only people can walk in stylish sweaters and suits. Fashion smoothly took pets, including dogs, under its wing. Four-legged dandies can show off amazing overalls, sweaters, suits. We will figure out how to knit a sweater for a dog with your own hands and what is needed for this.

From what to knit clothes for a pet?

Nowadays, you can find a huge amount of yarn that is suitable for knitting. Do not forget that a dog is a creature that needs care like a small child. Accordingly, the yarn should not cause any irritation and allergies.

There are some basic types of yarn:

1. Cotton and linen. It is a yarn made from environmentally friendly materials that are grown without pesticides. If you want to choose colored yarn for sweaters, then you should know that it is dyed only with natural dyes. This yarn is durable. Although it quickly absorbs moisture, it also dries well. Ideally, light spring and summer jackets for dogs of small breeds are knitted from such yarn.
2. Silk and rayon. This type of yarn is suitable for knitting with cotton or linen. It will make ideal blankets and openwork dresses. Unlike natural silk, artificial silk is not as durable, so it is not used in its pure form.
3. Wool. This yarn is more elastic and light. Since it retains heat well, it is ideal for knitting winter clothes for small dogs. To wear such clothes was comfortable, you need to add vegetable or artificial fiber.
4. Angora wool. This yarn is obtained from the wool of Angora rabbits. In its pure form, it is practically not used, since the pet will not be comfortable wearing such clothes. Most often it is combined with merino wool or acrylic fiber.
5. Merino wool. This is expensive yarn. In order to somehow reduce its cost, some manufacturers can add various fibers to it. This yarn is ideal for knitting clothes for hairless dogs.
6. Camel's wool. It can be both rough and softer. Most often, the yarn is not dyed, and it is used in natural shades, namely light sand or dark brown.
7. Mohair. This yarn is suitable for knitting sweaters and raincoats for small pets. She is very fluffy and warm. There is a wide range of colors available for sale.
8. Cashmere. In its pure form, it is practically not used. Blended with various fibres. The only negative in such a yarn is that it is not resistant to wear and constant washing.
9. Viscose. Combine this yarn with cotton or linen. Among all representatives, this is the cheapest material for knitting.
10. Fashion yarn. This category includes boucle, ribbon yarn, grass and many other types.

Master class on knitting a sweater for a dog

If you know how to knit, then it will not be difficult to make an original thing for your pet with your own hands. It is more difficult for those who do not have knitting skills. To do this, you are offered a detailed master class. And before that, you need to study the preparatory steps and photos of possible types of clothing.

Taking measurements

This is a responsible step, on which the final result will depend.

To take measurements, prepare the following tools:

• paper;
• handle;
• measuring tape.

The number of measurements will depend on what kind of clothes you want to sew or knit.

1. Before sewing or knitting something, we first take a measurement from the chest. To do this, command the dog to sit.
2. The remaining measurements are taken when the dog is standing. In this case, the pet should not hunch its back and tighten its paws.
3. In order for everything to be successful, it is advisable to put the dog in a rack as at an exhibition: the back is even, the head is raised.

When determining the size of clothes, be prepared that you will need to make changes to the finished patterns, according to which you are going to sew or knit a sweater for a dog.

It would be ideal if you draw up an exact clothing scheme in accordance with the characteristics of the breed of your pet.

Basic removal steps:

1. DI. Length of the product. As a rule, it is measured from the collar to the place where you want the sweater to end.
2. OSH. neck volume. To facilitate the measurement procedure, simply remove the collar from the pet.
3. OG. Breast volume. You need to start measuring immediately behind the front paws.
4. DR. It is better to adjust the sleeve length after the main product is knitted.

Required Tools

First of all, you should choose high-quality yarn that will not cause inconvenience to your pet.

In addition, you will need the following tools:

• centimeter tape (constantly control the size of the product);
• knitting needles;
• hook;
• knitting pattern.

Stages

First of all, be sure to knit a control sample. From it it will be possible to judge the density of the product and, if anything, change the pattern or threads.

1. We calculate the number of loops that need to be dialed. To do this, you need to know the OG. The sweater has approximately 88 loops.
2. We must start knitting a sweater from the collar. The loops are calculated as follows: from 88 pieces, subtract 20 if the dog is a small breed and 30 if the pet is of medium or large size.
3. We collect the required number of loops and knit with an elastic band measuring 1 * 1 cm for 4 cm. Or we knit 1 cm more if the dog is larger.
4. We divide the total number of loops into 5 equal parts. We knit the first two with an elastic band, the middle with the front surface, the remaining two parts again with an elastic band.
5. We knit in the same way, only with each row it is necessary to add the number of loops that will go to the dog's sternum. We knit in the same way.
6. After about 7 cm, you need to make holes for the pet's paws.
7. We knit a sweater for the dog to the end of the tummy. By the end of the sweater, it is necessary to make a narrowing so that the product does not stretch during wear.
8. As soon as we reach the end of the tummy, it is necessary to transfer all the loops to separate knitting needles and knit the back with the front surface.
9. Be sure to tie all the edges of the product with an elastic band.
10. After the entire pet sweater is knitted, we sew the parts together along the edge loops.

Alternative to knitting

Not every needlewoman knows how to knit. Some housewives can delight their pets with things sewn with their own hands. To do this, you can purchase new fabric, or you can sew clothes from an old wardrobe. Consider how to make an original thing for a dog in a few minutes.

Sock jacket

Now outlandish things that can be sewn from an old sock have come into fashion. Yes, exactly one of them. For work, prepare the following tools and materials:

• a lot of old socks;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• crochet hook of the largest size;
• needle and thread in the color of socks.

If your pet weighs about 10 kg, then approximately 35 socks will be needed to work.

The work is carried out in the following way:

1. Before sewing the original thing, we wash and dry all the socks. Sort by color if you want to somehow compose the overall pattern. If this is not done, then the product will not lose its charm.
2. To sew a jacket, each sock needs to be cut. To do this, each product is leveled and cut into strips. The width of each is 2-3 cm. Each part should look like a solid loop.
3. We start weaving pieces to make yarn from socks. To do this, one ring is threaded through the other.
4. Let's start knitting. We take a large hook and start knitting with a regular knit. All parts of the product are prepared separately, and then they must be sewn together with ordinary threads.

like this in a simple way you can dress your pet in original clothes own production.

Assembly

So the end is coming to a story about how to knit a jumpsuit for a toy terrier with knitting needles. Sew the side seams on the front and back and sew on the legs and sleeves.

Crochet with a “crustacean step” with a white thread, tie the neck, the lower part of the back and front, as well as the cuffs. At the same time, the bottom of the back can be pulled down a little.

Knitting "crawl step" is used to finish the edges of products. Doing it, each time insert the hook into the previous loop. The result is a spectacular edging in the form of small dense waves. It will not only decorate the product, but also strengthen it, since during wear, the edge thread most often breaks or rubs.

Front and back

Let's start the story about how to knit a sweater for a toy terrier with knitting needles with a set of loops. Type 70 loops on the needles and knit an elastic band 7 cm high. Divide the knitting into two parts: 24 loops - in front, 46 loops - back. Knit them from two different balls.

Row 1 before: Yarn over 1 every 3 sts. 7 times total.

Back Row 1: Yarn over 1 every 3 sts. 15 times total.

2 row before: 31 loops knit with an elastic band.

2nd row of the back: 61 loops purl.

3rd row in front: remove 1 loop, yarn over, knit 29 loops with an elastic band, knit 1.

Back row 3: remove 1 loop, yarn over, knit 59 loops, knit 1.

4 row before: 33 loops knit with an elastic band.

4th row of the back: purl 63 loops.

Knit 4 more rows, throwing over the edges of the front row of each piece along the crochet.

Simultaneously with the 5th row, start knitting the pattern.

9 row before: close 3 loops, knit 34 loops with an elastic band.

Row 9 back: cast off 3 sts, knit 64.

10 row before: close 3 loops, 31 loops with an elastic band.

10 row of the back: close 3 loops, 61 loops and purl.

Now knit a toy terrier sweater in a straight line. At the end of the 19th and 20th rows of the front and back, cast on 3 air loops.

Continue knitting the piece until it measures 8.5 cm from the collar. Then knit 1.5 cm in front with an elastic band and close the loops. Continue to knit the back with a pattern, reducing 1 loop at the edges in every second row (remove the edge loop, knit 2 loops together, knit according to the pattern, 2 loops together, edge loop). When the back reaches 20 cm, close all the loops and fasten the ends of the colored threads from the wrong side.

Sleeves

What a sweater for a toy terrier without sleeves. For them, with a blue thread, type 30 loops on the knitting needles and knit 4 cm with an elastic band. The sleeves are rectangles. Close the loops.

Assembly

Sew shoulder seams. Sew sleeves into armholes. Then sew the side seams of the sweater and sleeves. Cast on 108 stitches on the needles and knit a strip about 1.5 cm wide with an elastic band. Sew it along the edge of the back. Fasten the ends at the bottom of the front piece.

Hood

Knit a fabric 12 cm high and 30 cm wide with the front stitch. The first 1.5 cm should be done with an elastic band with a blue thread. Continue with front stockinette blue hair. Fold the piece in half, sew up one side, and then sew to the collar of the toy terrier sweater. Decorate the top of the hood with a pom-pom.
