Cute crochet dog outfits
"Small
dog sweater"
Here is another one of the dog outfits I have found. It is different than the
average sweater and definitely for a little girl no matter what her size. This
pattern is great because these little dog outfits come in sizes from extra small
to extra large.
Not many free crochet patterns dog sweaters cover that many sizes so this
pattern is a real gem.
