This crochet dog sweater is designed for dogs (and cats) who weigh 8-16 lbs. It measures 15.5 inches long and 8 inches wide (laying flat).  If your pet weighs 5-10 lbs, try the XS Dog Sweater. 

Crochet sweaters for pets are great stash buster projects because they don’t care if they are wearing lots of funky colors all at once! Just make sure that all the yarns you use are machine washable because odds are good that this sweater is going to get dirty!
