Selection of schemes

If you decide to have a Chihuahua pet, then in addition to worrying about its maintenance, you should think about your baby's wardrobe. Of course, you can buy fashion items in the store, but it's cheaper to make them yourself, and you are guaranteed exclusivity. In the article, we will offer patterns for knitted clothes for the Chihuahua.

Knitted clothes for small dogs have a number of advantages:

• it is simple and convenient;
• it can be worn at any time of the year;
• in winter, knitted things perfectly protect from cold weather, and they also have good ventilation;
• they are elastic, easy to put on and create comfort when wearing, they take the shape of the pet's body;
• knitted clothes are seamless, so tangling and chafing are excluded.

Among the negative aspects, we can note the fact that knitted clothes cannot be cleaned, but should be washed. During washing, wool clothes can "shrink", and if the composition contains a lot of acrylic, then, on the contrary, stretch out.

Variety of warm clothes

Given the characteristics of the breed, the set of things for your pet will be solid. For Chihuahuas, clothing is a must, as it protects the dog from the cold and wind. Even if it gets a little colder outside, your four-legged friend will need a jumpsuit that does not get wet in rainy weather. This type of clothing is very popular for miniature pets as it is comfortable and practical.

You can make a windbreaker or raincoat with your own hands, and when the cold comes, you can wear warm knitted clothes (for example, a sweater or pullover).

When you are replenishing your pet's wardrobe, regardless of whether you buy things at a pet store or knit with your own hands, they should be not only warm, but also as comfortable as possible for the animal so as not to restrict the pet in movements.

If a blouse for a boy is open on the tummy, then clothes that completely cover this area are selected for the girl. It is also worth taking care of shoes so that the Chihuahua does not hurt his paws while walking.

The choice of materials and tools for work

In order to knit cute and bright clothes for your pet, you should first choose a yarn. It shouldn't be allergic, but warm and natural. Thick and fluffy threads are best. In the store you can buy cotton yarn, mohair, linen threads. Wool with the addition of acrylic is also suitable to increase the wear life. Also, clean wool will prick, may cause allergies. As we noted above, the yarn should be natural, since artificial yarn will be absolutely useless in cold weather, because it will not warm the dog.

Pure viscose is also not a very good option, as things will stretch and quickly lose their shape. Pure acrylic threads build up static electricity. Often, very bright threads have an odor, which indicates that unsafe technologies were used during dyeing. So this yarn should not be bought, as the four-legged friend may have an allergic reaction and other health problems.

If you decide to knit clothes for your pet, then you should choose the right size knitting needles or a hook. You can also crochet parts so that there are no seams, or make a beautiful finish.

Detailed manufacturing instructions

Sweaters

Let's talk about how to knit a warm and comfortable Chihuahua sweater with knitting needles.

First of all, we take a chihuahua and take measurements from it: the neck circumference in the place where the collar is located, the volume of the chest (behind the front limbs), the length of the back from the collar to the tail, as well as the circumference of the limbs. We choose soft, thornless threads. The thickness of the needles should correspond to the thickness of the threads - the thinner the yarn, the thinner the needles should be.

On average, we need 250 g of yarn. It is necessary to calculate the knitting density by tying a small sample and counting how many loops are contained in one centimeter. Now we have all the information to calculate the number of loops to set.

We start knitting for chihuahua with a set of loops. Next, two rows should be knitted with garter stitch. After that, we knit 20 rows with an elastic band 1: 1. Now we proceed to the front surface. Each row must be started to knit, stepping back from the edge of 3 loops.

Next, we add one loop in each row, and so we knit 15 rows. From the elastic to the armhole, you need to knit 28 rows. We proceed to knitting the armhole. To do this, we knit 10 breast loops. Next, we close 12, then we knit on the back 30, and again we close 12, then we knit 10 on the breast. In those places where 12 loops were closed, there will be bases for the armhole.

The next stage is to increase each section by one row. Next, we knit all the loops, so the armhole is gradually restored. Calculate: if you have 72 rows from the elastic, then go to the elastic. After knitting 4 rows, you can finish.

If the sweater is with sleeves, then they are knitted with special knitting needles for stockings. Process scheme: we collect 28 loops and knit round 18 rows, forming an elastic band. We close the edge of the product. Now we sew the jacket (you can connect it with a hook).

Overalls

Here is a description of how to knit a jumpsuit for a Chihuahua.

We collect 48 loops and knit a 1x1 elastic band 5 cm high.Now you need to break 48 loops into the back, sleeves and tummy. The back will be 14 loops, then from each side there will be one elongated loop, then we leave 11 loops on the sleeves, then again one elongated on each side and 4 loops on the tummy, including the hem.

We knit one row to the elongated loops, and after that we will increase the number of loops - before the dividing we make the yarn over and after. Thus, they will be separative. We add loops only from the front side. After we have made all the increments, we get 15 loops on the front shelf, 33 on the sleeves, and 36 on the back.

We collect the sleeves on a wire and then continue knitting with one cloth to the required length. After that, close 10 loops on each side. Next, we knit the canvas. The two corners on the sides will turn into pant legs. To do this, we type the loops around the corner again on the knitting needles, we get 19 and also make 19 yarns. Thus, we get 38 loops and knit in a circle.

We do the same with the second leg. At the end of the leg, you can change the thread to a thinner one and knit with an elastic band, getting a cuff that can be tucked in. Next, we sew the finished product, insert a lock or buttons if desired.

Sleeveless

In order to knit a sleeveless chihuahua, you need 100 g of yarn. You already know how to take measurements. We start knitting from the bottom, we calculate the knitting density and the number of loops that need to be typed. We collect the calculated number of loops and knit with an elastic band to the armhole. After that, we divide the entire knitted fabric into three parts: the left shelf, then close the loops of the left armhole, the back, close the loops of the right armhole and the right shelf. We knit each part separately to the desired height, after which we combine the fabric again by typing the same number of loops over the closed loops in addition.

Next, we continue to knit with the main pattern, reducing the quantity on the sides. We close and sew the product at the desired height, or insert a lock or buttons. If desired, the knitted product can be decorated with accessories of your choice.

Not only people can now wear stylish sweaters and suits. Fashion has smoothly taken pets, including dogs, under its wing. Four-legged fashionistas can show off amazing jumpsuits, sweaters, and suits. We will figure out how to knit a dog sweater with our own hands and what is needed for this.

Benefits of knitted clothing

What to knit clothes for your pet?

Nowadays, you can find a huge amount of yarn that is suitable for knitting. Do not forget that a dog is a creature that needs care like a small child. Accordingly, the yarn should not cause any irritation or allergies.

There are some main types of yarn:

1. Cotton and linen. This is a yarn made from environmentally friendly materials that are grown without pesticides. If you want to choose colored yarn for a sweater, then you should know that it is dyed only with natural dyes. This yarn is very durable. Although it absorbs moisture quickly, it dries just as well. Ideally, light spring and summer sweaters for small breeds of dogs are knitted from such yarn.
2. Silk and rayon. This yarn is suitable for knitting with cotton or linen. She will ideally make blankets and openwork dresses. Unlike natural silk, the artificial representative is not so durable, therefore, it is not used in its pure form.
3. Wool. This yarn is more elastic and lightweight. Since it retains heat well, it is ideal for knitting winter clothes for small dogs. To wear such clothes comfortably, it is necessary to add plant or artificial fiber.
4. Angora wool. This yarn is obtained from the wool of Angora rabbits. In its pure form, it is practically not used, since the pet will not be comfortable wearing such clothes. Most often it is combined with merino wool or acrylic fiber.
5. Merino wool. This is an expensive yarn. In order to somehow make it cheaper, some manufacturers can add various fibers to it. This yarn is ideal for knitting clothes for hairless dogs.
6. Camel's wool. It can be both rough and softer. Most often, the yarn is not dyed, and it is used in natural shades, namely light sandy or dark brown.
7. Mohair. This yarn is suitable for knitting sweaters and raincoats for small pets. She is very fluffy and warm. There is a wide range of colors on sale.
8. Cashmere. In its pure form, it is practically not used. Mixed with various fibers. The only drawback in such yarn is that it is not resistant to wear and constant washing.
9. Viscose. Combine this yarn with cotton or linen. Among all the representatives, this is the cheapest knitting material.
10. Fancy yarns. This category includes boucle, ribbon yarn, weed and many other types.

What are the knitted clothes for dogs?

A do-it-yourself sweater for a dog is easy to knit.

But besides him, there is a large variety of clothes for our smaller brothers, namely:

• blanket;
• sleeveless shirt;
• sweater or jacket;
• Italian greyhounds;
• overalls.

In addition, each of these types of clothing can have a hood.

Do not forget that there are still hats that can also be made with your own hands:

• warm hats for cold weather;
• caps;
• hats that protect your pet from the sun.

Every piece of clothing must be adorned. To do this, use brooches, buttons and various locks.

Master class on knitting a sweater for a dog

If you know how to knit, then it will not be difficult to make an original thing for your pet with your own hands. It is more difficult for those who do not have knitting skills. For this, you are offered a detailed master class. And before that, you need to study the preparatory steps and photos of possible types of clothing.

Taking measurements

This is a crucial step on which the final result will depend.

Prepare the following tools for taking measurements:

• paper;
• pen;
• centimeter tape.

The number of measurements will depend on what kind of garment you want to sew or knit.

1. Before you sew or knit something, first take a measurement from the chest. To do this, command the dog to Sit.
2. The rest of the measurements are taken when the dog is standing. In this case, the pet should not hump its back and tighten its paws.
3. For everything to go well, it is advisable to put the dog in a rack as at the show: the back is straight, the head is raised.

When determining the size of clothes, be prepared that you will need to make changes to the ready-made patterns according to which you are going to sew or knit a sweater for a dog.

It would be ideal if you draw up an exact scheme of clothing in accordance with the characteristics of your pet's breed.

Basic measurements for removal:

1. DI. Length of the product. Typically measured from the collar to where you want the sweater to end.
2. OSH. Neck volume. To make the measurement easier, simply remove the collar from your pet.
3. OG. Breast volume. It is necessary to start measuring immediately behind the front legs.
4. DR. It is better to adjust the sleeve length after the main product is knitted.

Required tools

First of all, you should choose a quality yarn that will not cause any inconvenience to your pet.

In addition, you will need the following tools:

• centimeter tape (constantly monitor the size of the product);
• knitting needles;
• hook;
• a compiled knitting pattern.

Stages

First of all, be sure to knit a control sample. It will be possible to judge the density of the product and, if anything, change the pattern or threads.

1. We calculate the number of loops that you need to dial. To do this, you need to know the OG. The sweater has approximately 88 stitches.
2. Be sure to start knitting a sweater with a collar. The loops are calculated as follows: from 88 pieces, you need to subtract 20 if the dog is a small breed and 30 if the pet is of medium or large size.
3. We collect the required number of loops and knit with an elastic band measuring 1 * 1 cm for 4 cm.Or knit 1 cm more if the dog is larger.
4. We divide the total number of loops into 5 equal parts. We knit the first two with an elastic band, the middle with the front satin stitch, the remaining two parts again with an elastic band.
5. We knit in the same way, only with each row it is necessary to add the number of loops that will go to the sternum of the dog. We knit in the same way.
6. After about 7 cm, you need to make holes for the pet's paws.
7. We knit a sweater for a dog to the end of the tummy. By the end of the sweater, it is imperative to make a narrowing so that the product does not stretch during wear.
8. As soon as we have reached the end of the tummy, it is necessary to transfer all the loops to separate knitting needles and knit the back with the front satin stitch.
9. Be sure to tie an elastic band around all the edges of the garment.
10. After the entire sweater for the pet is knitted, we sew the parts together along the edge loops.

To make the product look interesting, you can take melange yarn into work, and highlight the collar and bottom of the product with contrasting threads. More finished products can be viewed in the photo.

Alternative to knitting

Not every needlewoman knows how to knit. Some housewives can delight their pets with do-it-yourself things. To do this, you can buy new fabric, or you can sew clothes from an old wardrobe. Let's consider how to make an original thing for a dog in a few minutes.

Jacket made of socks

Now outlandish things that can be sewn from an old sock have come into fashion. Yes, exactly of them. For work, prepare the following tools and materials:

• a lot of old socks;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• crochet hook of the largest size;
• needle with thread in the color of the socks.

If your pet weighs about 10 kg, then approximately 35 socks will be needed for work.

The work is carried out in the following way:

1. Before we sew the original thing, we wash and dry all the socks. Sort by color if you want to somehow compose the overall pattern. If this is not done, then the product will not lose its charm.
2. To sew a jacket, each sock needs to be cut. To do this, each product is leveled and cut into strips. The width of each is 2-3 cm. Each part should look like a solid loop.
3. We begin to weave the pieces to make the yarn from the socks. To do this, one ring is threaded through the other.
4. Let's start knitting. We take a large crochet hook and begin to knit with a regular knit. All parts of the product are prepared separately, and then they must be sewn together with ordinary threads.

In such a simple way, you can dress your pet in original clothes of your own production.

Sew the edges of the sweater, the seam is obtained on the tummy. In some models, a zipper is sewn in instead of a seam or buttons are sewn on. The main thing is to remember that accessories must be well sewn, because dogs love to chew on everything.

For especially small breeds or dogs without wool, sleeves are additionally tied to such a sweater, which are then sewn to the base of the product.

First, the neck is knitted to the required height. After which it is sewn together, and from the resulting pipe further the product expands to the slots for the paws. After making the slots, the product is knitted of the same width (it narrows slightly closer to the tail).

Work description:
1. Redraw the patterns of the details onto the paper.

So it will be more convenient when knitting to check the shape of the part and adjust the number of columns in a row.
2. Based on the density of the knit, tie the belly and sleeves in the shape of the pattern with the main pattern. You need to shape the details by adding and subtracting the columns in the first and last loops of the rows. Moreover, in the back, these changes will be symmetrical (the last loop relative to the first), but not in the sleeves.
3. The shape of the back should also be given by changing the number of columns in the first and last loops (symmetrically).
Let's take a closer look at the figure. The middle of the three braids should be started from the first row. It takes 9 medium loops. And the first front embossed columns of the side braids should be knitted from the 9th row. So that on the 12th row in all three braids there is an overlap symmetrically. The distance between the braids is 2 double crochet.
The rest of the back space is knitted with the main pattern.
4. When all the parts are ready, they should be sewn together.

Neck - a simple double crochet in each loop.
The lower edge of the abdomen - in a simple double crochet, evenly skipping 3 loops.
The lower edge of the back - one column in each row on the sides of the product and through the loop in the area with braids.
