Dog Sweater: What model to choose
The choice of model and, accordingly, patterns for a sweater depends on the breed, animal activity and host preferences. First of all, it is necessary to decide on two moments: how will the sweater and whether the product is needed and the hand is necessary.
A dog sweater can be fastened on the back, which is very convenient for the owner and does not give discomfort to the animal, or dress up. The latter requires peace of mind and readiness from a pet and some skill from the owner, but this sweater will most effectively protect the dog from the cold.
Dog Sweater on Buttons
We start knitting a sweater from the neck. We will tell her "rubber band" to ensure the elasticity of the collar and its proper landing. The rubber band and width of the collar are chosen on the basis of the size of the dog and the characteristics of its behavior. If your pet is having fun with joy, the narrow collar will not be enough. In this case, it is worth helping to work on creating a high dense neck, which will reliably close the neck of the pet. When determining the size of the collar, you do not need to focus on the narrow part of the neck, otherwise you risks make the product very tight and inconvenient in the sock. Measure the widest part of the neck of the pet and divide the resulting value to two. This will be the approximate length of the top of the sweater.
The main part of the sweater knit facial loops is either another familiar pattern. Gradually add 1-2 loops in each row so that the sweater when landing completely covered the dog's breasts. It is in this place that the sweater will have the greatest width. Paths for paws we make the separation of knitting into two parts. Do not forget to periodically make fittings and watch the dog feel comfortable in motion.
After taking holes for the paw, we again connect the parts and knit the cloth to the rear paw line, gradually reducing the number of loops in the row. If the sweater after fitting freely sits on the dog, you can bind it in the form of a gum. This will provide a more dense landing of the back of the product.
At the end of operation, the crochet is resetting the loop for buttons. Buttons are sewn after final fitting.
Optionally, you can assign the sleeves and decorate to your taste.
Sweater for dogs without fasteners
A classic sweater without a fastener knits from two parts: back and abdomen. At the same time, the gate for both parts fit together, and then the canvas is divided into two parts. Knitting can be performed by any pattern like. On sweaters of this type, knitted drawings and decor are very impressive.
Correct the width of both parts depending on the figure of the pet, do not neglect fittings. The lower part of the product should end a little further than the middle of the stomach, and the upper can reach the dog's tail, completely closing the back. At the end of knitting both parts are stitched. 
Knitted dog sweater is not the simplest product for beginner, requiring care and accuracy. Be prepared for possible errors in the sizes of the sweater and, accordingly, to the need to correct them. But the final result will undoubtedly be happy and inspired to create new accessories for a beloved pet.
