Dog Sweaters
Knit with 12mm (US 17) straight knitting needles and chunky yarn, the dog jumper is a good pattern for beginner knitters as well as the more experienced.
To make the dog sweater for a medium or large sized dog, add stitches, for example, a medium sized dog – cast on 18 or 20 stitches depending on the size, you can measure the width of their neck/back/chest to see the size needed.
If you would like to make more knitted items for your dog, please take a look at the other patterns in the pet knitting pattern library.

The knitting pattern is an easy level pattern for beginners, using basic knit and purl stitches, with increases and decreases to shape.
The Materials You Need
The amount of yarn I used – I didn’t need all of the 100g skein of red yarn but depending on the size of your dog, you could possibly use more or less.
You also don’t need a full skein of white – and a 50g skein should be fine.
Use bulky/chunky yarn if possible – like Lion Brand Hometown or Wool-Ease Thick and Quick.
Anything that is suitable to use with 12mm (US 17) needles will be fine.
Christmas Puppy Sweater Knitting Pattern
I have made this Christmas dog sweater with bulky white and red yarn to look like a little Santa Claus sweater and Jason liked it a lot.
Because the jumper was so chunky it seemed really comfortable when he was wearing it.
