The article presents patterns and descriptions of crocheting a sweater for a dog. Size S, i.e. The length of the animal's back is 25 cm.
Product dimensions:
back length – 23 cm;
belly length – 15 cm (for boys), -18 cm (for girls);
neck width -11 cm;
chest width – 16.5 cm.
Knitting density 1 cm2. = 3 double crochets in two rows. Accordingly, you can choose the size of the sweater by changing the number of columns.
You will need:
Yarn 100% wool 100g, hook number 2.5, needle with a large eye.
The main pattern is a simple double crochet.
Description of the braid (pattern on the back):
Width 9 columns.
1st row: 3 knitted double crochets, 3 simple double crochets, 3 knitted double crochets;
2nd row: 3 purl relief double crochets, 3 simple double crochets, 3 purl relief double crochets;
3rd row: 3 knitted double crochets, 3 simple double crochets, 3 knitted double crochets;
4th row: skip 6 loops and knit the 7th, 8th and 9th loop with a purl relief double crochet, then go back and work the 4th, 5th and 6th loop with a simple double crochet and finish the row by knitting the 1st, 2nd and 3rd loop with a purl relief double crochet.
Then repeat from the 1st to the 4th row.
Description of work:
1. Redraw the patterns of the parts onto paper.
This way, when knitting, it will be more convenient to check the shape of the part and adjust the number of stitches in the row.
2. Based on the density of the knitting, knit the belly and sleeves according to the shape of the pattern with the main pattern. You need to shape the part by adding and subtracting stitches 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 look at the figure in more detail. The middle of the three braids should be started from the first row. It takes up 9 middle loops. And the first front embossed columns of the side braids should be started from the 9th row. So that on the 12th row there is a symmetrical overlap in all three braids. The distance between the braids is 2 double crochets.
The rest of the back space is knitted with the main pattern.
4. When all the parts are ready, they should be sewn.
5. The connected parts must be tied.
Neck - a simple double crochet in each loop.
The lower edge of the belly is a simple double crochet, evenly passing 3 loops.
The lower edge of the back - one column in each row on the sides of the product and through a loop in the area with braids.
This way, the edge of the sweater will tighten a little and it will fit more tightly to the animal’s body.
6. All that remains is to cut and hide the threads and try them on quickly.
Try it, use your imagination, and most importantly, enjoy communicating with your loved ones.
