Summertime Dog Poncho Crochet Pattern

This is the perfect little poncho for when

 the weather is too warm for a sweater,

 but still cool.

 Easy to slip on and off for 

outdoor potty breaks.

It is still cool in the morning, 

here in Colorado,

so I just slip the poncho on, 

and they can go potty. 

It doesn't get in way of doing business, 

either.

We just re-tested and updated this Crochet Pattern.
