Suitable for a Chihuahua or other tiny dog. This will fit a dog weighing between 3 to 6 pounds. I've already made this one for Rey, who loves it. Actually, I made 2 but gave one to my dad for his tiny toy poodle. I did make a couple of small changes/improvements to the second one by making a couple of strategically placed holes so that I can hook his leash onto his collar or halter while he has the sweater on. *S*

This pattern was made for a Corgi who's about 26 lbs. Size can be adjusted for your dog, just measure carefully. It requires 1/3 yard of fleece )or more depending on the size of your dog), small amount of "fuzzy" yarn in coordinating color (or yarn of your choice), size G crochet hook, and tool for punching holes in fleece (the designer used an ice pick).
The pattern can be scaled to fit your dog and fleece is stretchy but the tube-type construction of this sweater makes it hard to put on and take off of large dogs. This pattern is more suited to medium-sized and smaller dogs.
