Dog Shrug Crochet Pattern

I got so many requests for a knit version

That I decided to design a simple pattern

 that can be easily size adjusted.

As well as, made in any color or colors of yarn.

I Love This picture of Rosie.

 I think she got bored in the middle

 of the photo shoot.

Whatever you want as embellishments.

You can stitch up the shrug in 1 color, or use variegated.

This is the perfect addition to any dog dress or sweater

When the weather turns cool.

Rosie can still wear her favorite dress, and be warm.

It is also fun warn alone to add an extra little warm

 to your outside time with your pooch or cat.

in your favorite color.
