Arm sleave Dog Sweater (small)

Now it's getting towards winter. And getting cold outside, if you have dogs they are certainly bound to get cold just like you. Would you like to make them a sweater. or even a Christmas gift? This is a easy and simple arm sleeve sweater.

Do you have old sweaters laying around? If not you can easily get some Goodwill or your local thrift Market. we have small dogs a dachshund chiweenie a wiener dog dachshund mix. the sweaters are made for small dogs. If you have a large dog this pattern may not work for you.

Take a sweater and cut one of the arms off. Now figure out where the dog legs,will go two holes in the appropriate spot for them. I only made two holes for the front feet only sweater I made.But if  yours is long enough that you need for front and back feet holes you can cut those. you can sell around the hole if you want to but it is not necessary.
