Crochet Pattern for a 3X Small Dog Sweater History You, don't know how many of these I've made over the years. I've had the pattern in my head for the longest time and I especially like to see people watch me when I have to wait for appointments and I can go from a ball of yarn to a tiny small sweater before my name gets called. Usually, people then ask me what I'm making. I've also had young girls want to learn to crochet after they see what can be made, that's why I've been wanting to write this pattern down to share.  It would be especially cute to make a few of these for your pretend toy dogs, I know they make some that go with many dolls that I think are just adorable.  Also, I've always thought a nice gift for someone living in a small space that doesn't have room for a real pet anymore would be to buy them a small toy animal and give them different sweaters and their own little wardrobe.  Patterns As promised I'm listing the pattern for my...

   I must be getting old! (or I've always been) Because even though I love the whole youtube movement where we can practically learn anything just by watching a video, I still like following a crochet pattern.     I've been questioned by my friends: how do you read one? it doesn't make sense. And it got me thinking, that I couldn't always read crochet patterns, I needed someone to help me.  Free PDF Printable below! How to read a crochet pattern printable guide, page 1 Image Preview    Thankfully I had my mother to help me from an early age. She never sat down without her fingers wrapped around a crochet hook and it's been said by ones who knew that my little baby fingers would imitate her hand movements as I watched her. I do remember growing up and always seeing her with a paper in her lap that she was reading. As I learned how to read regular writing I would start to pick these papers up and wonder: What is this? Some secret code, a mystery lan...

Over the years I've made hundreds of crochet roses. I first learned how to make these to put on crochet doll dresses but they are also used extensively in Irish Crochet. They are crocheted separately from a larger piece and either sewn onto the finished work or sometimes you start crocheting around them and they become the center motif. They are a great little project to carry with you in a small bag and you can always pull your yarn out and complete one or two. I realized after watching this video again I need to make a better one, so I'll add that to my list of things to do but till then I hope you can make out enough to figure it out. This is the pattern below. You will start wanting to adapt it as you get going, you can make them bigger by adding more rows with more stitches and you can make tiny ones using bedspread weight cotton.
