I was wondering how you felt about doing a dog sweater similar to the below? my dog is not as big she's a cocker spaniel about 35lbs i could get her measurements if needed. Been looking for one for a smaller dog but having a hard time finding ones with directions. >:

That pattern looks fairly straight-forward, and I'd be happy to make it! I found a slightly better version of it from Lionbrand, with sizing information: click
I'm going to need the 3 measurements of your dog, listed on the top of second page; give me the measurements you want the sweater to have, so measure accordingly.
Then of course you get to pick the color(s). I can do a solid color or stripes of multiple colors. The one in the pattern has a color gradient by using color-changing yarn, which is a bit pricier, but also an option.
I'll have a better idea after you give me the details, but I can make this for somewhere around $20, U.S. shipping included. :)
Sounds great I'll get her measurements and post them after work tomorrow <3
HADES Sure thing, no hurry!
Still waiting on the measurements and your preferences.
Sorry bout that. Had a hard time finding my measuring tape q.q the measurements are below. Let me know if any are incorrect/sound off!
Neck; 15in / 38cm Rib/around chest; 25in / 64cm Length from neck to bum; 21in / 53cm
Colors; she has a dark purple leash and collar so something dark purple or purple and white to match. I'm happy with either or! I'll post a pic in a few minutes so you can see the color.

Your dog wears around a large size sweater, by the pattern. The neck measurement is on the small side. Can you check that a 15in sweater can slip over her head comfortably? The finished neck will have some stretch, but that part will not have buttons or be adjustable.
As for the color, this purple yarn that looks like a match. I think I'll add a white trimming around the edge? Let me know if you have other suggestions.
Can you also take a full body picture of your dog from the side so I have a general idea of her bodyshape?
I double checked and the lowest part of her neck is 15inch the thicker part close to the front legs. That color suggestion looks great to me :>
I have two below, but let me know if they're too dark. She gets all hyped when I try to take pics so I sneak up on her LOL

Thank you! (And haha, that's adorable btw~ ^.^) I'll stick with my initial estimate of $20 as the total cost.
Sounds like I got all I need to get started. I'll keep you posted with my progress!
Sounds good to me! Happy to get a good quality sweater. I had her shaved not too long ago so she'll definitely need it. Thanks so much for letting me commission you for this <3 let me know if you need anymore info :>
Hi, a WIP for you: click
The two main pieces are done, as seen modeled by my bag of fiberfill (which happens to be exactly 25in. around), with some measurements to show proportions.
To finish up, I'll be adding two purple belt pieces to attach the bottom piece to the top. My bag doesn't have legs, so I'll have to eyeball the positions of these. But I'll include several holes in the belt for flexibility, and it'll be easy to detach and re-position the buttons yourself.
Hope it all looks good so far? I'm not sure if you were going for this, but this sweater is going to look a lot like a royal purple cloak when I add the white trimmings. :)
Omg it's coming out so adorable im so excited ;.; Thanks so much! Everything is perfect so far : > and damn you work fast LOL
I just got the package today! Both of them are super adorable and well made, thank you again! <3
