Sweater for a cat or a small dog – the principle of knitting raglan for animals
In addition to real human children, we have two kitten and a dog breed of Toy Terrier. And if a cat to the cold weather is quite manageable without clothing they warm her coat, the little dog without undercoat endlessly freezes.
Buy ready-made clothes we tried. Minus a few. First of all this wonder creature grew faster than we had time to update the closet, and secondly the cut of these clothes was very strange and did not like the dog.
He was constantly trying to get out of the sweater, and the rough stitching chafed the skin on his tummy. I decided to knit him a sweater myself. With good yarn and no seams.
The agony of searching.
Figuring out that the body structure Tosya (that's our dog's name) is different from the human, I went on the Internet to read how to knit clothes for quadrupeds.
I tried a lot of descriptions, but I didn't like them all. I wanted a seamless raglan, which did not work – either the paws do not fit, or the sweater is too big in the chest.
And then one day, I do not even remember where I stumbled upon the correct formula for calculating raglan for dogs and cats, which actually would like to share with you.

A very bright model for a bright nature. Decorate and warm a cat (cat). Model is fitted, it stretches and does not restrict movement. On the back there are fasteners (buttons) and so put on and take off will be easy and not scary.
The work will require:
This blouse is knitted in a square pattern. Next, attach the buttons and knit small sleeves at the armholes.
Collect by crochet 48 air loops, this will be the jacket in the circumference. Then lift in three loops and do the first 2 rows according to the scheme number 1. This is just columns with one stitch in each lower element of the row. Then switch to pattern number 2. It is very similar to the previous one, only now between the columns is added one air loop, and the columns will be knitted between the columns of the previous row. So do 6 rows. After each row, remove 2 columns (one from each edge).
For the armhole necklines You need the middle 6 columns to do the scheme number 1 for the height of 6 rows. Then step back from this ledge two elements to the right and left and take turns to knit identical rows (a total of 6 pieces). Then combine into a band and knit collar.
Collar. After the armhole is finished knitting continues according to the scheme number 2. In each of the second again begins with a 2-column yield, the same. It is necessary to knit 3 rows according to the given scheme. Then go to the scheme number one and knit 2 rows, but the yield will be in each row by two columns on the edges.
Sew on the buttons. The model requires three buttons on the back. For them, knit three loops along the edge of the fabric, not too loose, so that they do not come undone.

Needed:
This pattern is very easy to make.. Especially for those who are somewhat familiar with the technique of creating Irish lace. If not, you don't have to give up. Now everything is simple and accessible to review. So, we choose the most beautiful flower from the scheme and start making several motifs according to its description. For example, for the widest place of the cat needed 5 such flowers.
A total of 20 motifs were made for the model. Next, using a hook, we start to stitch each motif with air loops and join loops. You will get a grid like this. It is not so important how many loops to use, it is important to achieve a more even arrangement of the flower itself.
Two armholes should be left for the sleeves of the front legs. The sleeves and collar are knit with spokes. You just need to dial the right number of loops along the edge and knit a 1*1 stitch about 3 cm. The sleeves can be made a little longer, if they do not interfere with the future mistress. Here we have ready an exquisite sweater for a real lady.
Making lovely things is not only easy, but also enjoyable.
Sweater with high collar
This pattern will help you to knit a comfortable sweater with short sleeves for a cat. You can knit it without sleeves, just by tying the armhole. Before you build a pattern, be sure to measure the cat and write down its dimensions. According to these dimensions you will build an individual pattern, which will be useful more than once in the future.
The depth of the armhole depends on the size of the cat. If you plan to trim the armholes with a rubber band, increase their height and depth by 1 cm. The width of the back should be reduced as follows:
Knit with an elastic band (1 side, 1 opposite). You can decorate the back with braids or plaits. Collar knit with a rubber band (2 faces. 2 isse).
Pattern
6 is the length of the tummy = the distance from the base of the neck to the middle of the stomach.
8 – is the height of the armhole, increased by 1 cm of the circumference of the front paw – the depth of the armhole multiplied by 2.
Measure the cat, transfer to paper, cut out and knit, looking at the pattern.
Vest
Before you begin, measure the waist circumference of the cat. The waist circumference is marked on the pattern with a letter Т.
If you choose wool for knitting, choose soft wool designed for children. You will need about 50g. Knitting begins with the back and goes in a single sheet. First there is an elastic band of 3 cm, then the armhole (in any way). Close the loops of the armhole on one side and knit until the end of the row. At the end, turn the work, do the same and continue to knit to the neck. To knit it – make one shoulder, close the neck at 5 cm and knit another 3 cm. We get the stitches for the neck 5 cm and join the 2 shoulders.
Next, knit the front until the end of the work, finish with 3 cm of rubber. Sew the side seams. Tie the neck and armhole with 2 cm of elastic.
