ASSEMBLY:

Place both pieces together with a little Fiberfil or quilt batting in the middle. Sc through both thicknesses all the way around to close cushion.

SIDE:

Row 1: Ch 1, working in BLO, sc in 116 sts. Leave rem sts unworked.

Rows 2-6: Ch 1, turn, dc in each st.

Row 7: Ch 1, working BLO, dc in each st.

Rows 8-12: Ch 1, working in both loops, dc in each st. Fasten off yarn.

Measure length of side (approximately 45”) and height of Rows 1-6 (approximately 4”). Cut a piece of foam stabilizer to this dimension. This will give the side of the bed a little extra support. Sew Row 12 of side to Row 1 of side, inserting foam stabilizer in between as you go.

Sweater Crochet Pattern for the New Puppy

Pug Puppy Sweater

 

Did you get a new puppy for Christmas? Maybe you’re planning to adopt a pet in the new year. It can be difficult to find a sweater for toy breed puppies. This easy crochet pattern will fit your new puppy who is approximately 2 pounds. Finished measurements are approximately 6″ length by 13.5″ diameter to fit a pug, Boston terrier, French bulldog and other similar stocky-built dogs who are about 2 months old. Remove a few stitches to make the sweater for a thinner dog such as a poodle or chihuahua. Add a few rows for a longer dog such as a dachshund. Add your revisions to the blog to help other puppy owners make their own tiny sweater.
