Cute crochet dog outfits

"Small dog sweater"

Here is another one of the dog outfits I have found. It is different than the average sweater and definitely for a little girl no matter what her size. This pattern is great because these little dog outfits come in sizes from extra small to extra large.

Not many free crochet patterns dog sweaterscover that many sizes so this pattern is a real gem.
