I can’t believe the outfits they make for dogs and cats these days! I just put together a great article on dressing your pet, called 31 Patterns for Pet Clothing. I’ve always had bigger dogs (Labrador Retrievers), so I’ve never paid much attention to dog sweaters or accessories. I just recently got a small dog–a Beagle/Boston Terrier mix–so I decided to buy him a sweater. Here he is sans sweater:
If I knew how to knit or crochet, you better believe I’d be stitching up a storm to give this little guy an adorable wardrobe! I’d love to make him the Crochet Dog Shrug, although I realize it might emasculate him:
I also really love this Knit Rainbow Sweater. The colors are so bright and cheerful!
I do know how to sew, however, so I may just have to try my hand at this adorable Puppy Necktie. You think dogs don’t need neckties? Well, think again! Look at how professional this pooch looks with his business casual attire!
You can see the rest of the adorable pet clothing patterns (and a few bonus pet crafts) in my article, 31 Patterns for Pet Clothing.
And if that isn’t enough to satiate you, here are some more pet clothing patterns I found around the web:
- This sock monkey hat from Posh Pooch Designs has got to be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! You can crochet one for your own dog if you buy her pattern, but she’s also got lots of free patterns to check out too.
- Also from Posh Pooch Designs is this free crochet pattern is for doggie leg warmers! Why? Why not! Here’s another Doggy Leg Warmer Pattern.
- It’s a little late for Easter, but if you love humiliating your animals all year round, you’ll love these bunny ears from Sew Doggy Style! Doesn’t this dog look hilarious?!
- Here’s another from the Department of Hilarious: You can make your dog its own Lady Gaga inspired meat dress, also from Sew Doggy Style. I’d say he’s a dead ringer!
Check out my daughter’s etsy shop at SIS2rs for the darling hats she makes for cats and dogs.
Yes i would like to know where to get more free sewing patterns for dog dresses i’ve only found two on this site would like to make alot of different dog dresses.I have a Chihuahua who just loves to dress up thanks Doris
hi that is adorable sooooooo cute my dog muffin hates it when i put her coat on her
I would love a pattern for a dog harness. My dog sometimes slips her collar-a harness is safer.
These outfits are so sweet! I’m guilty of dressing my little maltipoo in sweaters and hats, and unlike most dogs, he never tries to fight it. My secret? Showering him with lots of love and attention when he’s wearing the clothes. Dogs will do almost anything for attention (especially if treats are involved).
