This one isn't specifically for a dachshund but... ...it is easily customizeable for a dachshund or just about any dog because it is based on the measurements of your dog's neck and his back length. Pictures of completed sweaters from this pattern can be seen here: redlipstick.net/knit/chisw_gall.htmlMATE... sizes 5 and 7 knitting needles. (2) Worsted wool, about 4 ounces.

LET'S GO:(3) Measure your pet's neck. I usually use a size 5 or 6 needle for a tightly knit ribbing (not too tight! ).

Wylie's neck is 10", and I cast on, loosely, 40 or 42 stitches. (4) Knit 1x1, or 2x2 ribbing for 3" for a mock neck, or 6" or 7" for a turtleneck. (5) Change to a size 7 needle, and commence in the stitch of your choice.

After you've knit one or two of these, you can see how easy it is to add cables, colorwork, or other texture stitches in this back area. For the first one, let's knit in my favorite basic stitch, garter. That is, knit every row!

Can't beat it for simplicity , stability, and rustic good looks. (6) Measure the animal's back length, that is, from the back of his neck, just above the shoulder, to the top of his tail. That's how long you will knit straight, in garter stitch.

That's right! , No shaping yet! When you have reached 2" short of the correct length, switch to size 5 needles, and knit 2" of the same rib you used for the neck.

In garter stitch, this isn't really necessary, but looks good, and if you use another stitch, it keeps the edge from curling. If you used another stitch, you should also have knit the first 4 stitches of every row, to keep the side edges from curling. BInd off.

(7) Now, we will knit the chest piece. Using the size 5 needles, cast on 3 stitches. You will increase 2 stitches every other row, until you reach the width comparable to the distance between your pets front legs.

You should increase 1 stitch 2 stitches from each edge. The magic thing about this, is that is usually exactly the length you need to cover that tiny chest. It's really amazing!

Now: for a male, knit straight until you get to 1" shorter that where the ribcage stops, and add 1" of ribbing, bind off. For a female, you can knit as long as the body of the sweater, to cover her bald little stomach. (ending with 2" of ribbing, just like the back.

) Bind off. The reason I usually knit this piece on the smaller needles, is, it has a tendency to get wet in the snow, and stretch. A slightly smaller gauge helps.

If your not using garter stitch, knit the first 4 stitches of every row. FINISHING:(8) Seam the neck ribbing, remembering to seam halfway, and switch to the inside, if you've made a turtleneck. Now, place the point of the chest piece at the bottom of the neck rib seam, and sew a seam down both sides, until you get to the point where you stopped increasing.

Leave a slit for the front legs there, about 2" long, and continue the princess seams down each side. Tuck in your loose ends, wash and block carefully. COMMENTS:Don't forget to experiment with your favorite stitches.

I highly recommend using natural fibers like wool, alpaca or cashmere. Happy Knitting! ©1995-2005 Staceyjoy Elkin, all rights reserved.

Lionbrand.com has several free patterns for sweaters for dogs. I would suggest checking out lionbrand.com/" rel="nofollow">lionbrand.com/ . The site does require a free registration to access most of the patterns, but I promise the registration is painless.

Some examples of patterns include a granny square dog sweater, need for tweed dog sweater, a "ruffrageous" dog sweater, an incredibly cute lion sweater, and several others. The patterns could be modified to fit a dachshund. One of the advantages of these patterns is that they specify Lion Brand yarn (although I'm sure one could substitute their favorite brand in most cases) which is affordable.

Plus the pictures on the site are oh so cute! Good luck finding patterns for the puppy... Happy knitting! Sources: lionbrand.com/" rel="nofollow">lionbrand.com/ .
