Caron’s Hot Diggety Hot Dog Coat Pattern

This is such a fantastic dog coat because it also has pouches (the bread) that can be used to store poo bags, snacks and any other doggy bits you need to take with you on adventures out!

Baby Yoda / Grogu Knitted Hat for Dogs

From fellow blogger, Handy Little Me, this is the most fantastic Star Wars outfit you could possibly make for your furry friend. I love that she has thought out of the box and made a hat for her dog. Handy Little Me has a great range of free patterns for dogs and humans.

Pirate Dog Outfit Knitting Pattern

Perfect for Halloween and those chilly autumn days, this dog costume is actually less on the novelty side making it perfect for those more punk-rock grungy pet owners who want their dog to match their style.

The pattern is from Bernat on Yarnspirations.

These dog jumpers can be made less festive by removing the belt detailing or changing the colours. These knitting patterns are from Red Heart and found on Yarnspiration. Yarnspiration has a great range of free pet patterns. These lovely dog coats are made using rib stitch and stockinette stitch, making them great for beginners keen to venture out of their comfort zone.
