Free Striped Crochet Dog Coat Pattern

Nice sweater, enjoyable to make (with the video)

I just finished this dog sweater and I am really happy with it. I found the pattern confusing but the tutorial on Youtube is fantastic. I worked along with Mikey every step of the way and had great success. Now I'd like to figure out how to scale that pattern for my other dog. She's in between sizes.

Hard to follow

The sweater looks cute in the picture, but I am having a hard time reading and understanding this pattern. It almost feels like it was written by AI. Another review said there was a video, would love to see that. I think Im going to just undo this and find another dog sweater pattern. It would help if the pattern was written with a little more detail. Like at the end of a row its shoud say if you join or dont join to the first stitch in the row. Maybe some pictures added to follow along with.

• We appreciate that you took the time to leave feedback on this pattern. For the most part, the Dog Coat is worked in rows, and not rounds, so it is not joined at the end of each row. There are a few places where you are instructed to join with a ss (slip stitch) at the end of a row. And, here is the link to the video for the pattern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BqW_QoOX0Q If you do decide to continue with the pattern, please know that we are available to answer your questions.

Easy to Follow!

This is a great pattern! Yes, the above raters correct that no weight of yarn is given, but it's pretty easy to adjust and figure out. I have been looking for an easy pattern to follow, and this is working up super quickly. Thank you so much!

Hard to understand

I have been crocheting almost 50 years and never in my life have I seen a pattern that says to 'miss the 1st dc'. What does that even mean? I wrongly assumed it meant to skip the 1st dc. Ended up with not enough stitches. Had to take it back apart to re-work it. But I had already cut and tied off my yarn. So. Having to re-tie my yarn means it's going to have knots in it. Thank goodness the dog won't care or I'd be having to go buy more yarn. Maybe research pattern writing terminology before writing your next pattern. A for effort?

• Thank you for your feedback regarding the Bernat Striped Crochet Dog Coat. The language of written crochet patterns has changed a lot over the years. When this pattern was written, to “miss”, it does mean to “skip” as we would use in today’s terminology. We’re happy to help with any areas you find difficult in the pattern.

Pattern Not so easy to follow

I found the pattern was hard to follow when you get to certain sections of the pattern. I would have to drop the pattern and watch the video to figure out how to finish the pattern. Which the video tells you how to correct the pattern. But I loved the guy in the video, he was great at explaining everything.

Crochet dog coat

This pattern is the worst written pattern I have ever seen, but it may just be me. I have been crocheting since I was 5 years old at my mothers knee and at present I'm 81 now and am having problems with a lot of my patterns that I have used for years. First and foremost, the pattern doesn't give a yarn weight, just lists Bernat super saver. I need to make a coat for a small dog and have tons of yarn remnants that I was going to use to clean up my craft room. The only other complaint I have is the directions in the pattern are not clear (or maybe it's just me) I am going to try this again with a little lighter weight yarn and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the free patterns, even if I'm not smart enough any more to make heads or tails from the directions.

I’d like to make this in bernat blanket yarn. How do I make the adjustments? And what size crochet hook should I use when using this yarn?

Are the sizes given the measurement of the neck, middle or length of the dog coat?
