Knitting clothes for a toy terrier: knitting, crochet, patterns, master classes with photos for beginners


How to take measurements from a dog for overalls, sweaters, dresses, blankets and create a pattern?

Before you start work, you need to take measurements from your pet in order to correctly calculate the number of loops. If the puppy is small, then you can prepare sock knitting needles, but for a larger animal you will need circular knitting needles. All sizes are recorded, suitable yarn is selected, preferably melange or wool blend, in two colors. For a boy, you can use a combination of blue and white, gray and burgundy, and for a girl, bright pink, yellow and white colors are more suitable.

  • length of the body from the withers to the base of the tail;
  • neck girth;
  • belly length;
  • waist circumference;
  • diameter and height of legs;
  • chest width.

Knitting fashionable and original clothes for small breed dogs does not require special knowledge and skills. Calculating the number of loops for casting on is very simple: with an average density you will get 2 loops per 1 cm. So, with a neck circumference of 30–32 cm, 60–64 loops are cast on. To assemble the finished product you will need accessories, threads, scissors and a needle. Experienced needlewomen knit a seamless sweater or dress for Yorkies, Chihuahuas and pugs with beautiful patterns, braids and weaving with circular knitting needles.

You need to prepare thin graph paper and draw a rectangle on it, one side of which is equal to the length of the pet’s back. Next, the waist line and chest circumference are noted. The back length is divided in half and 1/3 of the neck circumference is measured from the dividing point. If you connect these marks in a semicircle, you will get the required neck diameter. The shoulder cut and leg openings are calculated in the same way. On another sheet of paper, a detailed pattern for the sleeves is drawn separately, based on the measurements taken. A master class for beginners will help you understand how a pattern is made (see video).

Knitted overalls for a toy terrier

- 80-100 g of yarn; - knitting needles No. 2.5-3; - two large knitting pins; - hook No. 2.5; - tape measure; - scissors; - large needle with a wide eye; - small lace stops; - lace to match the threads; — detachable zipper or buttons for fastening.

To create a pattern for a dog jumpsuit, measure the length of the back from the collar to the tail, the circumference of the neck (this can be measured by unfolding the collar) and the circumference of the chest.

2 Start by knitting a 10x10 cm sample and calculate how many stitches you get in 1 cm. Then count how many stitches you need for the cast-on row. For example, in a 10cm sample there are 30 loops, therefore there are 3 loops in one centimeter. If the neck volume is 22 cm, then you need to cast on 66 loops. 3 Knit starting from the neckline. Cast on 66 stitches and knit the desired neckline length using a 1x1 or 2x2 rib. Next, add loops so that you get a row of holes for the lace. Yarn over the thread and repeat after 5-6 loops. Knit the odd row using an elastic band according to the pattern. 4 . Calculate the number of loops for the increase as follows: calculate the difference between the girths of the chest and neck. Multiply this difference by the number of loops of the sample in one centimeter. 5 Next, knit according to the pattern to the paws. Now you need to make holes for the sleeves. Divide the canvas into three parts. The middle part will be 12 loops (with two loops becoming edge loops), and divide the outer parts in half. Throw the loops of the two parts onto pins and knit separately. The length of the slits is equal to the length of the back divided by three. If this measurement is 24 cm, then the size of the slots will be 8 cm. 6 Now connect all three fabrics into one and knit another 8 centimeters. Next, knit the holes for the hind legs, only in this case you should divide the entire fabric into three equal parts. Close the loops of the middle part. Knit the outer parts separately 8 centimeters (these parts will cover the dog’s croup). 7 Using a crochet hook, crochet the opening on the back with single crochets. 8 Knit the sleeves, gradually reducing the number of loops. Don't make the sleeves too long, otherwise you will have difficulty putting on the overalls. A sleeve 5 centimeters long is what you need. Tie the trouser legs a little longer than 7-8 centimeters. Sew the sleeves into the slits. Sew on the pant legs. Please note that the inside of the trouser leg must be left free. 9 Cut the lace 4-5 centimeters larger than the neckline. Place a stopper on one edge. Thread the string through the holes on the neck and secure the second stopper. 10 Sew a zipper on the back or punch out buttons. You can go for a walk in a new outfit.

Useful tips

It is best to knit clothes for a toy terrier with an elastic band, then they will always fit, as they will turn out to be almost dimensionless.

How to knit a jumpsuit with knitting needles?

When knitting overalls for a Chinese Crested, Pinscher, Schnauzer or Chihuahua, take into account their lack of thick and long hair. The suit should fit snugly to the body, but not rub. To make a jumpsuit for a small Yorkie or Chihuahua, you will have to make a small supply, given the dog’s long hair. Clothes for large males are made using the same principle.

For a baby Toy Terrier or Chinese Crested, cast on 52 stitches and knit 12 rows with a regular 1x1 elastic band. After this, you need to knit 5 rows with a garter pattern of knit stitches and cast off 12 stitches on the armhole. For the back, 12 rows are knitted, and for the front part - 21. The previously closed 12 loops of the armholes are also added here and the fabric is closed in a circle. Next, knit 5-6 cm and close the next 12 loops on the stomach. After another 8 cm of knitted fabric, close the same number of loops on the back. The corners are made separately, closing 2 loops in rows until the end of knitting.

Sleeves for the front paws are made separately, casting on 30 stitches on toe knitting needles. They are placed on four needles, knitted in 4 cm garter stitch and finished. The legs for the back legs start from the corners of the main product, slightly short of the armhole on the stomach. Loops are gradually added to make a total of 40, and about 6 cm are knitted in the round. To shape the armhole, it is tied, catching loops through one. This way it will stretch slightly and the overalls will look better.

Front and back

Start knitting overalls for a toy terrier by casting on 60 stitches. Knit the neck with an Italian rib. At a height of 5 cm, turn the fabric over and knit an elastic band on the wrong side. This is done so that the lapel has a pattern on the front side. Knit another 6 cm with an elastic band. In the last row, increase every two stitches. There should be 88 stitches on the knitting needles.

Further, the knitting pattern for overalls for a toy terrier suggests that work should be continued from two balls at the same time. From one ball, knit the front. It will require 30 loops. Work it in stockinette stitch. From the second - a back of 58 loops with the “Braid” and “Star” patterns, as shown in the photo: edge, 2 purl, 12 loops of the “Braid” pattern, 2 purl, 24 loops of the “Star” pattern, 2 purl, 12 loops of the “Star” pattern Braid”, purl 2, edge.

Having knitted 14 cm, close the loops of the front part. After another 12 cm, complete the back.

Sleeves and legs

Cast on 34 stitches for the sleeve on 4 needles. Do the work with a regular 1 x 1 elastic band. Finish the work at a height of 13 cm. Knit the second sleeve in the same way. The trouser legs are knitted similarly. Only their length is a little longer - 16 cm.

Assembly

This is the end of the story about how to knit a jumpsuit for a toy terrier with knitting needles. Sew the front and back side seams and sew in the legs and sleeves.

Using a crawfish crochet hook with white thread, tie around the neckline, lower back and front, and cuffs. In this case, the bottom of the back can be pulled down a little.

Knitting "crawfish step" is used to finish the edges of products. When performing this, each time insert the hook into the previous loop. The result will be a spectacular edge in the form of small dense waves. It will not only decorate the product, but also strengthen it, since during wear the edge thread most often breaks or frays.

Crochet overalls pattern

You will need a No. 5 hook, bright thick yarn, a satin ribbon and a button or bead for decoration. The knitting pattern is as follows: chain stitch, connecting stitch, single crochet and double crochet. The product is knitted from the waist, casting on 81 stitches, closing them in a circle and knitting 7 cm. The circular fabric is divided into 2 unequal parts: at the bottom there are 14 motifs, and at the top – 12. On both sides, 2 motifs are left between them for the armhole. From it, another 10 cm is knitted and 7 motifs for the neck are set aside, and the right and left sides are knitted separately.

After 14 cm from the armhole, the product is finished, the loops are closed and the lower and upper parts are sewn together in the shoulder area. The neckline is tied in a circle in 4 rows. The sleeves are knitted by raising the stitches in the armholes and knitting about 10 cm in a circle. The last 4 cm are knitted with double crochets. The lower part starts from the waist line, knitting 20 cm down. The middle 11 motifs are set aside so that the jumpsuit can be worn.

How to knit and crochet a sweater?

For a small dog, you can knit a sweater with sleeves - raglan. They start knitting from the neckline, calculating the number of loops based on the girth of the neck. Cast on 64 stitches, place them on 4 knitting needles and knit about 15 rows with an elastic band. Start knitting raglan from the neckline, distributing the stitches equally on 3 knitting needles. It is necessary to take into account the size and volume of the pet, as well as the fact that the back of the product should be wider than the front. 25 loops are left on the back, 19 on the chest and tummy, and 10 loops on the legs, marking them with contrasting markers.

Then they begin to add loops in a circle. When there are 2 stitches left before the first mark, yarn over, purl 2, throw over the mark, knit a pair of purls and a yarn over again. The product will begin to increase in width, taking the shape of an inverted heart. The resulting blank is tried on the pet to determine the beginning of the sleeves. The loops for the sleeve are transferred to a separate stick or thread, and an additional 6-8 loops are cast on the working one, knitted in the round and finished with an elastic band on the tummy.

The length of the blouse is selected according to the size of the animal, but the back should be longer than the front. The back is knitted separately, moving the product onto one knitting needle, gradually decreasing the loops and closing them. For sleeves, cast on 5 or 10 loops and knit in a circle with an elastic band for about 10–15 rows. The finished parts are sewn together. The crocheted sweater follows the same pattern as the overalls, but without the bottom part.

We make patterns and sew clothes

Owners of small dogs have a very positive attitude towards sewing their own outfits for them. Here it is important not only to choose the necessary patterns and make patterns, but also to choose the right material. You should not give preference to silk, as it “cools” rather than gives warmth. This material is suitable only for summer outfits. But the overalls for your toy terrier need to be sewn from warm fabric and lined with fur. At the same time, the fabric should be dense and waterproof, as well as easy to wash and dry quickly.

Types of yarn for knitting.

Considering the tendency of toys to exhibit allergic reactions, you should be especially careful when choosing yarn. Your pet needs to knit things from natural yarn:

  • cotton and linen. Eco-friendly, grown without pesticides, and dyed using natural dyes, cotton and linen yarns are durable and dry quickly after absorbing moisture. If you are thinking about how to knit a sweater for a toy terrier for walks in spring and autumn, then cotton or linen threads will do just fine.
  • silk (natural or artificial). Summer versions of dog clothes made of natural silk will allow the dog to dress up on the street, but the skin will breathe and will not overheat. Artificial silk in its pure form is not used to create a new item, but is added to cotton or linen.
  • wool A woolen sweater, jacket or overalls will be appropriate in winter, since wool is characterized by elasticity and lightness. Comfort for the pet is ensured by adding plant or artificial fiber to the product.
  • angora wool. Products made from Angora wool in its pure form are not suitable for toy terriers. When knitting, be sure to add a thread of merino wool or acrylic fiber.
  • merino wool. Yarn is very expensive, so a pure merino wool product can cost you a pretty penny. To make a toy item cheaper, look for yarn that contains another fiber. But even despite the presence of various additional threads in merino wool, today, clothes made from such yarn are the warmest and most practical for toy terriers.
  • camel hair. To make your pet comfortable in things made from this type of wool, take soft yarn.
  • mohair. Beautiful yarn of various colors will allow you to intelligently combine and create unique products. And the fluffiness of mohair gives things an extra zest.
  • cashmere If you are a fan of this yarn, keep in mind that cashmere is not suitable for knitting dog clothes because it is not wear-resistant and washable.
  • viscose. By combining viscose with cotton or linen thread, you can knit a lot of things for your beloved dog.
  • fancy yarn (boucle, ribbon thread, etc.) is used to create stylish little things.

Knitted clothes for a toy terrier.

You can knit this terrier from threads of yarn:

  • blanket.
  • sleeveless vest/vest.
  • sweater, jacket.
  • overalls.
  • Italian greyhound.
  • booties for the home.
  • hats and caps.

One person cannot handle this task alone, so arrange for help in advance. The animal must be in a standing position during the procedure. Moreover, it should be placed on a hard surface. The dog should rest evenly and with all four paws on the surface.

Knitting and sewing outfits (overalls, sweaters, etc.) require the following measurements:

  • back length. Removable from the base of the tail to the neck;
  • chest girth. Take the widest part of the chest, just behind the paws;
  • chest height. Removable from shoulder to collar;
  • side length. The length of the body is measured between the front and back legs;
  • waist circumference This is the narrowest part of the body;
  • neck circumference - where the dog’s collar is usually installed;
  • distance between hind/front paws;
  • length of the abdomen. For girls, the distance between the hind and forelimbs is determined, and for boys, from the front paws to the genitals;
  • girth of the paws, as well as the distance between them;
  • the length of the sleeve;
  • the height of the animal at the withers.

  • The following measurements are taken while the dog is standing.
  • The length of the desired product is measured from the place where the collar is on the dog to the tail. If you want the dog's butt to be visible from under the thing, then the distance will be less.
  • behind the front paws we measure the circumference of the chest.
  • The length of the sleeve is measured according to the dog’s leg, and then adjusted during the knitting process.

How to knit a sweater for a toy terrier

The Toy Terrier is a dog that needs special attention. The toy size and smooth fur oblige the owner to insulate the pet, which is not adapted to the cold.

You will need

  • — 50 g of yarn (75% wool, 25% nylon, 205 m);
  • — 50 g of yarn (100% alpaca, 166 m);
  • — 50 g of yarn (94% mohair, 6% nylon, 49 m) for binding;
  • — four knitting needles (4 mm);
  • — four knitting needles (3 mm);
  • - hook (6 mm).

Instructions 1 Take measurements: chest circumference, back length (approximate measurements for a toy terrier are 28-30 cm and 24 cm). The sweater is made with an elastic band, so the product will stretch well. Knit a sample to determine the knitting density: cast on 19 loops on the knitting needles, knit 25 rows of thread in two folds (from two skeins, wool and alpaca), the size of the fabric is 10 by 10 cm.

2Knit a sweater from the neck down, cast on 48 stitches on four needles (4 mm), knit with an elastic band 2x2 (knit two, purl two) 4.5 cm. Then start adding loops: add (yarn over) 1 loop in every second pair purl to make 54 loops. Continue knitting until the height is 6 cm, then add 1 stitch in the remaining purl pairs (60 stitches).


3Continue to work until the height is 8 cm with a 2x3 rib (knit two, purl three), then bind off the armhole stitches. There are 60 stitches on the needles at this stage, 15 on each needle. Cast off the first two stitches on one needle, slip the remaining 13 stitches onto a stitch holder (pin), then cast off the first two stitches on the next needle and work the remaining 43 stitches with a 2x3 ribbing (knit two, purl three).


4Knit the back (43 stitches) with an elastic band for another 5 cm, then transfer them to the stitch holder. Transfer the 13 front stitches to a working needle and knit 5cm across the front, then join the front and back stitches, adding two stitches where they were cast off.


5Continue knitting until the product is 19 cm high, then begin decreasing: in every second row: twice (at the beginning of the first and third knitting needles) two loops each; twice one loop each, another row - two loops each and the last row - three loops each. Finish the product at a height of 24 cm.6 Make sleeves by casting on 3 mm knitting needles (3 mm) along the edge of the armhole, knit 3 cm with a 2x2 elastic band, close the knits with knits, purls with purls (so as not to pull the edge), knit the second sleeve.7 Make a binding bottom of sleeves and edge of sweater crochet (6 mm): 1 single crochet, one chain stitch, skip 1 cm, then 1 single crochet, etc.

We knit for a toy terrier. Scheme.

First, read the general recommendations that are suitable for any type of clothing.

the number of loops is calculated depending on the measurements of the animal. To avoid making a mistake with the quantity, knit a sample of the selected pattern to use it to calculate how many loops you will need.

if you are going to knit a sweater, then knit each detail separately (back, sleeve, chest, collar). And then sew them together.

  • For making a vest, the knitting method in the round is suitable.
  • The blanket should be knitted with a continuous thread, trying not to be interrupted.

Use the step-by-step knitting instructions to knit a sweater for your Toy Terrier.

  • Based on the volume of the chest, we cast on loops. The approximate number for a toy terrier is 88 loops.
  • Start knitting from the collar area. If your toy terrier is a mini, then reduce the number of loops by 20 pieces.
  • Having cast on the loops, start knitting with a regular elastic band about four centimeters.
  • Next, divide the loops into five identical parts and knit the first two with an elastic band, then the middle part with the stockinette stitch, and again two parts with an elastic band.
  • add the number of loops to the chest circumference.
  • after about 6-7 centimeters we begin to leave slits for the paws.
  • having reached the end of the product (we are guided by the length of the item). We transfer the loops to different knitting needles and knit the back stitch with stockinette stitch.
  • closer to the end of the item, begin to narrow the sweater so that it does not hang on it like a shapeless rag.
  • We tie an elastic band around the edge of the sweater.
  • The sweater should be sewn using edge loops.

A sweater for a toy terrier is crocheted using the same principle.

We dress your pet

Of course, at first your dog may not be particularly enthusiastic about the need to dress .
However, if you put on clothes right before going outside, the dog will quickly switch to the world around him and will not try to take anything off.

also remember that it is better to accustom your toy to clothes while still a puppy, from 3-4 months.

Overalls are the most common clothing for the Toy Terrier. Depending on the fabric, this can be either cute, light clothing for the summer that protects you from the sun’s rays—after all, the thin skin of toys burns just as easily as it gets frostbitten—or a warm, waterproof thing that will keep you safe from rain, snow, or another bad weather.

There are a wide variety of models - with a hood, with an additional warm lining, with special fasteners for boots so that the dog does not lose them. You can even sew fastenings and a ring for a leash into the overalls and use them instead of a harness.

How to knit a jumpsuit with knitting needles?

When knitting overalls for a Chinese Crested, Pinscher, Schnauzer or Chihuahua, take into account their lack of thick and long hair. The suit should fit snugly to the body, but not rub. To make a jumpsuit for a small Yorkie or Chihuahua, you will have to make a small supply, given the dog’s long hair. Clothes for large males are made using the same principle.

For a baby Toy Terrier or Chinese Crested, cast on 52 stitches and knit 12 rows with a regular 1x1 elastic band. After this, you need to knit 5 rows with a garter pattern of knit stitches and cast off 12 stitches on the armhole. For the back, 12 rows are knitted, and for the front part - 21. The previously closed 12 loops of the armholes are also added here and the fabric is closed in a circle. Next, knit 5-6 cm and close the next 12 loops on the stomach. After another 8 cm of knitted fabric, close the same number of loops on the back. The corners are made separately, closing 2 loops in rows until the end of knitting.
