Keep your furry friend warm and cosy with this easy dog sweater knitting pattern, designed especially for small breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, Maltese and Toy Poodles.

The sweater is knitted flat in just two pieces using a beautifully textured Garter Slip Stitch, then finished with only two simple seams, making it an enjoyable project for confident beginners and experienced knitters alike.

Unlike many dog sweater patterns, this design features a shorter belly panel, providing protection for adventurous pups who love exploring outdoors.

The free pattern includes:

Step-by-step written instructions
Garter Slip Stitch tutorial
Sizing and measuring guide
Helpful knitting tips
Clear construction instructions

Whether you’re knitting for your own dog or creating a thoughtful handmade gift, this cosy sweater works up quickly and is perfect for cooler weather.
