Knitting loom instructions

"Easy loom pattern"

These knitting loom instructions for a dog sweater I created on the Knifty Knitter loom. I made up this knit sweater for my Yorkie but any small breed will be able to wear it. You can make it long if needed by just adding rows to the back section.

This pattern is very easy and makes up fairly quickly on the loom. It is not fancy in any way. This leaves plenty of room for your imagination and creative skills. You can change colors, add designs or even personalize with a name.

You are welcome to use this pattern. It is copyrighted so please do not sell or publish it in any form without my permission. Well with that out of the way, lets proceed.

How to knit a dog sweater

If you have never tried to knit on a loom now is the time to give it a shot. They are inexpensive and fairly easy to learn to knit with. There are some great online sites to help you get started. I just hope you can understand my directions.

Yorkie, Chihuahua, Maltese, or Pomeranian dogs sweaters

This sweater should fit just about any dog from 5 to 15 pounds.
