    All you need is an oversize sock to whip up an adorable sweater for a tiny dog.
    Step 1: Put on his hat
    Take the toe piece and put it on his head, pulling his ears through the slits.
    Step 2: Go for a walk
    Take him for a walk so he can show off his spiffy new outfit.
    Step 3: Remove the top
    Cut off the top of the sock, the part with the elastic, and discard.
    Step 4: Cut a slit
    Lay the sock on a flat surface so that it's in the shape of a "J." Fold the heel over and make a one-inch cut through both layers. Unfold and enlarge the slits if necessary so your dog's legs will fit through.
    Tip
    Roll down the top of the sock to make a turtleneck.
    Step 5: Cut the toe
    Cut off the toe of the sock, just past the seam. Fold the open edge over about an inch and make a small slit through both layers. Unfold and enlarge the slits if necessary to fit over your dog's ears.
    Step 6: Dress your dog
    Slide the sock over your dog’s body so that the top of the sock is around his neck. Pull his two front legs through the slits you cut in the heel of the sock.

    How effing adorable I'm gonna borrow a pair of my husband's socks. He'll never notice. And even if he does, mama always said it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. I have a chiweenie. His unsexy tube socks are now going to serve a better purpose; to fit my pups long weenie body. The cuteness is too much I can't take it!🙅

    I have a 9 week old chihuahua and I literally googled, “making a dog sweater out of a sock”, and the video was the first to pop up. Great minds think alike! Thank you!

    That is exactly what I need to make for my 8-week old chihuahua. Especially since fall is on its way!!

  • @dogsensetrainingandbehavio903

    I cannot tell you how PERFECT this was. We have a 16 weeks old Chihuahua & haven’t found any sweaters that would fit him. Someone suggested making one out of a sock but I expected it to be really hard.
    Your video was EXACTLY what we needed. Thank you!

    • @stormypierce456

    I just went to several stores looking for a dog sweater for my little guy. They didn't have any small enough for him so I ended up buying some socks. Can't have him shivering while he's tryna do his business! Thanks for the bideo

    @RibbonsPink Před 7 lety +11

    I was surprised this worked. I happened to have a large fluffy sock and it worked. Sad to say the sock is pink and white and Ralphie is a boy but he doesn't know. It is nice and snug and now he is warm. Ralphy is a very small Chihuahua, 6 pounds or less, I don't think any larger dog would work. Even fluffier might not work.

    Making the 1 inch cut for the legs almost made one big hole. I'll try again making 1/2 inch slit. Also I didn't cut enough of the toe off so we didn't get a hat. I'll keep trying till I run out of socks. lol

    thank you for sharing this idea...I've got a tiny 4lb, 6 week old Shih-Tzu who shivers out in the cold while potty training him, I just made him one of these sweaters from a fuzzy sock and he no longer shivers. Finding tiny sweaters in the stores is impossible. This will work til he gets bigger.

    Sometimes small dogs DO need clothing, especially during the winter season. Something like this is very practical and cheap. It doesn't make the dog look like a poorly-dressed fashion reject, yet it also gives warmth.
    This is a great idea.
    However, when it comes to stupidly expensive and pointless dog garments... That is over the top.
