Free Dog's Crochet Granny Square Sweater Pattern

Give it a chance!

Don't be afraid to try this project! It's really not a complicated design. For the body, you're essentially making a Y-shape: sew all the squares together that will cover the dog's back (with a seam running down their spine), then you'll add two squares to wrap around their neck by attaching them to the body piece but NOT adding that center "spine" seam. Lastly, of course, add the squares that will wrap around the dog's belly.

This isn't easy to follow. A diagram showing the placement of the squares would be a great help. I wont even bother to try it. Thank you.

Looks cute and easy to make

I haven't made it yet but it looks like fun and super cute. I agree with the other reviewer that there are no real directions on how to put it together. The written response below from the pattern maker is great but I really think a visual layout would be helpful. Most patterns will have the layout so a person knows where to join their work. I hope the pattern maker updates the pattern with a layout for the the squares.

Not super in depth

It’s a free pattern, but it does not explain how or where to attach each piece. “Sew together” in what order? How many together in a row? This is a simple pattern but a few images to help explain would have been nice.

• We’re happy to help you with the sewing portion of the Red Heart Dog’s Granny Square Sweater pattern. ”BODY: Sew 6 (9, 12) squares together. Weave in ends.” For the BODY, you will sew the 6 squares in a 2 x 3 pattern; 9 squares in a 3 x 3 pattern; and the 12 squares in a 3 x 4 pattern. “Neck: Sew one square on each side of body.” For the NECK, you will sew one square at each outside square of the body portion at the top. If it were a human garment, it would be the shoulders. If you’re making the smallest size, you will sew the squares onto the body, but do not sew them together so there is an opening for the dog’s neck. This would essentially make the sweater 2 x 4 squares. “FINISHING: Sew the chest panel to both sides of the body. Sew on one button at the neck for closure, using a ch-1 sp as the buttonhole. Weave in ends.” The chest panel will be sewn so it is positioned behind the front legs. Sew to each end of the chest panel to the BODY so it makes a complete circle. I hope this helps you complete your dog sweater. Please let us know if you need more help.

Where can I find a diagram of putting the squares together for size small?

Please provide a diagram of the pattern. I'm making it in a small and cannot make sense of the neck instructions

Can you provide a layout sketch of the granny squares, I don't understand the instructions for placement of the chest panel and button. I am making it in the largest size - 12 squares plus one for the chest panel. Thank you!
