Refer to the schematic illustrations for the other measurements. The pattern includes notes where you can customize the sizes of the sweater to fit your pup. The smaller sizes are designed for petite pups like Chihuahuas, Shih Tzus, and little Terriers and the sizes increase to fit breeds ranging from French Bulldogs and Dachsunds to Boxers, Labradors, and Great Danes. If your dog’s Girth\/chest circumference measures more than 44′′ \/ 1cm, then this pattern is easy to customize by adding more increase rounds for a larger size. You can also adjust your needle size to get a smaller or larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI recommend selecting a size that is approximately 1′′ \/ 2.5cm or 2′′ \/ 5cm larger than your dog’s actual chest circumference for a fit with a little bit of extra wiggle room or select the size that matches your dog’s exact chest circumference for a fitted sweater. If you plan to wear the sweater on top of a harness most of the time, then measure your dog while wearing the harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor the best measuring results, use as soft tape measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 1x1 ribbing is very stretchy, so the overall circumference of the sweater can stretch up to 6′′ \/ 15cm more to fit your dog as it grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDK weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYardage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximately 80 (160, 220, 250, 300) (410, 460, 520, 580)yds \/ 73 (146, 201, 229, 274) (375, 421, 475, 530) m total\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you are using 3 colors faded together, I recommend having an equal amount of all 3 colors to represent the total yardage requirement for your size.
