Step 9: Put the new sweater and optional hat on adorable pet and flaunt its cuteness.
Although winter is nearing an end, it is not too late to get a little sweater for a furry friend. Puppies – or most small animals, for that matter – need extra help keeping nice and toasty. Pet stores are always stocked with accessories and clothing, but they can be expensive.
A nice alternative is a sock sweater. Inexpensive and simple to make, a sock sweater can be made in any dog’s – or their owner’s – style.
Supplies needed:
Sock (size depends on size of dog)
Scissors
Sharpie

Step 1: Gather and set out supplies.Step 2: Hold sock next to pet to determine where to mark cut offs near the toe and open ends of the sock for Steps 3 and 4.Step 3: Use the Sharpie to mark a line across the sock an inch from the toe end of the sock.Step 4: Mark a line across the sock about where it would reach pet’s midsection.Step 5: Cut along lines previously marked in Step 3 and Step 4.Step 6: Use Sharpie to mark a line in the ankle flap for holes for legs.Step 7: Cut holes where marked in the previous step for front legs.Step 8: Stretch out the sock and roll up the end nearest to the ankle. (Optional: cut holes for ears from the toe end of the sock for a hat)Step 9: Put the new sweater and optional hat on adorable pet and flaunt the cuteness.
