Wheat Stitch Dog Sweater Crochet Pattern in 8 Sizes

Dogs deserve to be cozy, too, and the Wheat Stitch Dog Sweater is designed to keep pups of all sizes warm and stylish. With 8 sizes from XXS to 3X, it’s perfect for all doggies from tiny tail-waggers to big cuddle buddies. Made in simple rows and rounds, the construction is easy to follow, and the wheat stitch adds a beautiful, cozy texture that looks as good as it feels.

The Wheat Stitch Dog Sweater has a simple, one-piece construction. We’ll start with a simple neck ribbing, then we’ll work in rows and rounds to create the sweater body with leg and harness holes.

Whether you’re making it for your own fur baby or as a sweet handmade gift, this sweater is a fun and heartwarming project for any dog-loving crocheter!

A video tutorial showing the Size Extra Small (XS) of the dog sweater is included with the pattern.
