Dog/ Car Crochet Sweater

Let's follow this easiest tutorial to crochet the best ever dog/cat sweater by yourself getting inspiration from this video.

Materials Needed:

• 6 mm crochet hook
• Medium yarn (Acrylic yarn recommended, with Cotton yarn is advised against)
• Stitch markers

Pattern

Neckband:

1. Create a chain that is twice the length of your pet's neck.
2. Single crochet in each chain across, creating rows until you reach the desired thickness for the neckband. (Single crochet in the back loop only for a more stretchy and snug collar)

Joining Neckband and Body:

1. After reaching the desired neckband length and thickness, connect the ends via slip stitching, using a loop left while knotting.

Body:

1. Perform one single crochet stitch in each row going around the neckband to set the base for the body.
2. Place stitch markers on two opposite ends of the collar. The place between stitch markers will be the increasing area.
3. For the rest of the body, repeat half double crochet until you reach the stitch marker, then perform two half double crochets in the same stitch (this is to increase the size of the body gradually). Repeat this until the piece measures long enough to cover the pet from its neck to the chest.

Leg holes:

1. Using stitch markers, mark the areas where you want the leg holes to be.
2. Half double crochet until you reach each stitch marker. At these points, chain 10 stitches (creating a loop), and then continue with half-double crochet until you reach the next stitch marker. Repeat for the second leg hole.

Finish body:

1. Continue with half double crochet around the entire piece, except for a part at the base where you continue to crochet back and forth in rows—this is to cover the tummy for female pets better and leave necessary space for male pets.
2. Continue until the piece is long enough to cover the pet's back, ending just before the tail.
