Well in the winter shaggy and fluffy! Its fur coat is warm and natural. But what about those who, on the whim of Nature or breeders, do not have such clothes? Or has it, but it is so small that even its fur coat in frosts does not help? Then we come to the aid of our favorites: we dress up, warm, warm, as we can. Someone gets ready-made clothes for four-legged "merzlyakov", and someone sews or knits it with their own hands. And if needlework for you is not an empty phrase, then there is an excellent reason to apply your skillful hands to the rescue of freezing hands, backs and tummies - knitting for dogs. The fact is that very many dogs of small breeds really freeze in the street. Yes, and smooth-haired dogs of large breeds (Dobermans, boxers, bull terriers and even daughters) can easily freeze for a walk. And if your four-legged pet is already in advanced age, then neither the size nor the "quality" of the coat plays a role: he will still suffer from the cold in the frost and from the dampness in the rain. But there is a way out. Do you know how to knit or crochet? Excellent! Then with knitting on the dogs with your own hands you will cope in two counts! On the account "once" we take measurements, at the expense of "two" we knit clothes. Have you started?

We take measurements for dog clothes

If we want to connect clothing for our dog"As it will", but as it should, then we will approach it professionally. Armed with a centimeter tape, paper, pencil, catch the model and get down to business. We put the dog on a flat surface (floor, table) and explain to her that it should stand properly: evenly on all legs, with a straight back and head lifted, and the front legs also keep in parallel. As soon as the dog became imbued with the importance of the moment and took the necessary position, we proceed to measurement. While taking measurements, we make sure that the centimeter tape is tight, but not snug against the body, and make the following measurements:

Growth at the withers is the length from the floor to the highest part of the back.

The length of the back is the distance from the withers to the base of the tail.

The girth of the chest is measured by passing a centimeter tape through the withers and armpits.

Waist circumference (back-belly).

Breast width - distance between armpits of forelegs.

Height of front paws (from underarms to the floor).

The height of the hind legs (from the inside of the thigh to the floor).

The length of the trunk under the abdomen (from the front to the hind legs).

The length of the hind legs (from the floor to the base of the tail).

Hats for the cap:

Distance between the ears (from ear to ear through the crown).

The horizontal girth of the head (through the back of the head and the bridge of the nose, under the ears).

Vertical girth of the head (through the thread under the chin).

We knit a blanket

This is the easiest way to knit dogs. Popova - clothes are universal. It is suitable for dogs of small breeds, and for more dimensional pets. It is believed that the blankets are especially suitable for smooth-haired and active dogs: they warm well, but do not hamper the movement. You can tie a blanket with both knitting needles and a crochet, and you do not need a special pattern for it. The basis of the blankets is a triangle (kerchief). Suitable for her any kind of mating (dressing, hosiery), or a dense canvas of columns without crocheted. If you knit this model of clothing with knitting needles, then start from the corner and knit, adding hinges on the sides. For those who crochet, it may be worth starting knitting from the opposite side of the scarf - up to the corner. However, knit as you like, the main thing is that the length of the blanket from the corner to the base is slightly larger than the length of the dog's back. In the central corner of the "kerchief", untie the loop, which will cling to the tail. That's all - the most simple blank is ready. Putting it on the dog, put the blanket on the dog's back, thread the tail into the loop of the blankets, and cross the two ends of the scarf on the chest and fasten on the sides (so it's convenient to fasten the blanket for small breeds of dogs). Or you can make loops and sew buttons, or use a conventional Velcro. "Superfluous" edge of a kerchief on a neck wrap up like a collar.

We knit complex clothes

Popona - the most simple, but not the only onemodel of clothes for dogs. You can tie your own hands and vest, and overalls, and a sweater. It is more convenient to knit such things with knitting needles, starting with the neck, and then on the pattern. This pattern is by and large universal. By linking it to just three parts, you get a ready-made vest or a base for a sweater and overalls. After all, how is knitting better for a dog? You can easily adjust the size and shape of parts by simply decreasing and adding loops, and simply tie the missing trousers and sleeves with knitting in a circle. So, for example, for a vest you need to tie all three parts and sew them, leaving free armholes for the front paws and neck. For a sweater - to collect air hinges from the armhole and to remove the "sleeves". And if you decide to tie your overalls, then do the following.

Link the details of the pattern.

Sew them, leaving free armholes, a neck, a place for the tail (and under the tail), and for boys - and under the belly.

Dial from the armhole airy loops and tie the legs for the front paws.

Tie a piece of cloth that will close the abdomen from below (between the hind legs), and sew it to the overalls.

From the resulting armholes also dial the air hinges and tie the rear legs.

Knitting a dog on this pattern is equally simple and crochet, and knitting needles - it all depends on what you know how to work with.

We knit a hat

Binding a cap with your own hands is easier thanA "serious" piece of clothing. And for many dogs of small breeds this is not just an ornament, but a really necessary accessory. For example, naked Mexican or Chinese crested dogs without a hat in a frost can easily catch a cold. So try to start replenishing the wardrobe of your pet with the headdress. In order to tie the cap on the spokes, we collect the number of loops from the calculation of the volume of the head. We begin to knit from the muzzle to the neck in a circle. Having knit up to the basis of ears, we divide knitting into two parts: anterior and occipital. We knit the front part of the cap, closing the part of the loops under the holes for the ears. Binding to the desired height (before the top of the crown), we transfer the open loops to the auxiliary thread. We also knit the back part. Then we open all the open loops on knitting needles and continue knitting in a circle, gradually loosening the loops on the vertex. The top of the cap is rounded and decorated with a pompon or a brush. For dogs of small breeds, you can tie a cap to your ears. If you knit with knitting needles, try to knit it as well as the previous model, only then, from the holes for the ears, draw the air loops and tie the "ear covers". If you crochet, then tie two parts like the two halves of panties, where the "trousers" are the ears. And then the associated parts are simply stitched or crocheted. So knitting for dogs can be not only entertainment and "honing skill." Bonded by their own clothes will save them from the cold, and hence from the cold. And what can please the landlady more than good health and a good mood of your favorite dog? We advise you to read:
