Customizing free crochet dog sweater patterns to fit different sizes can be quite challenging. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to customize these patterns to accommodate various sizes. Big dogs aren’t just bigger, they’re a whole different shape.

It’s best to use a pattern specifically made for a larger dog like this adorable custom sweater that slips over the head and then buttons up behind the legs. It’s available in sizes L, XL, and XXL.
