| Knitting Pattern Does anyone have an easy knitting pattern for a dog coat? I just bought an extra small coat at Petsmart and it is way too big for my 13 week old puppy. I thought I would try knitting one if I could find an easy pattern. We are potty training outside and it is -12 here. |

| If you use the search feature on here and put in 'knit patterns' you will find lots of sites that have been suggested. and if you crochet there are some of those also. I have been trying for 45 yrs to learn knit and am jsut making some progress. crochet comes easy to me but the knitting ... well lets say a 9 yr old can do better. LOL. good luck and be sure to post your creations.

| Hi, I have a 2.4 pound and what I have done is go to Michael's or any other craft store and I buy Teddy ear sweaters. They fit fine and you can even get little t-shirts for the different holidays etc. The onlycost about $2-$3. A good buy till they get full grown. |

| Thanks for all your help. The coat I bought at petsmart is just too big and high up on the neck. When I walk my other dog I have been wrapping my yorkie in my husband's toque and tucking him inside my jacket. Works real well. He seems to be getting used to the cold weather. |
