Free Crochet Pattern for Cat Sweater Easy

We're so lucky to have pets. See, for us, pets are a sweet aspect of our lives. But for them, we're their whole world. They depend on us and love us.

That's why I firmly believe in spoiling them whenever possible. One of my favorite gifts for dogs is this little dog coat.  Specifically this small striped crochet dog sweater.

This crochet pattern (for cats or dogs) is so cute and has two little holes for your pets front two legs. There's ribbed banding around the neckline too so it's extra comfy for the little fella.

This crochet pet sweater pattern is made out of a super soft worsted weight yarn. The plymouth hot cakes are acrylic wool blends with built in color changes. All the color shifts without having to weave in all the ends. This is the perfect snuggly yarn for a crochet pet sweater.

Crochet pet sweater patterns don't have to be intimidating. This little sweater is so easy to make and your dog will appreciate it so much during the colder months. You could even make it a little crochet pet hat to match.
