If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Furry Dog Sweater Reviewed by Adrienne on 2009-09-04
Great pattern, very simple, and great results quick!
The smallest size fits my 7lb Chihuahua beautifully, it looks great and it keeps him warm. He even naps in it after his morning walk, so it must be comfortable too!
I highly recommend this pattern.
