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.

Did You Know?
Seventy-three percent of Americans surveyed said they would go into debt to provide for their pet’s well-being.

    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!

  11. Rayndrop on March 13, 2023 at 5:45 am

    I’ve done one of these before for my dog but I forgot how to do it

  12. Jaimie King on March 13, 2023 at 5:45 am

    It litterally took me only five mins to make my chihuahua puppy two new winter sweaters with two fluffy socks I had lying around, when it probably would have taken me hours to find her similar sweaters her size at the shop! Didn’t cost me a thing either! Thanks!

  24. Emily Nix on March 13, 2023 at 5:57 am

    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

  25. Izzy Mags on March 13, 2023 at 5:57 am

  26. Muhammad Rauf on March 13, 2023 at 5:57 am

    That’s not a dog, that’s a large rat!

  27. H 1654 on March 13, 2023 at 5:58 am

    Just left the dollar store to make more sweaters! Such a great idea especially if you have an xxs small dog! 2.5 pounds!

  28. Gabriela Coronado on March 13, 2023 at 6:00 am

    Worked like a charm! Thank you!

  29. wolfyartz on March 13, 2023 at 6:03 am

    My horse loved his new sock shirt

  30. Dogs are a WOMANS Best Friend! on March 13, 2023 at 6:03 am

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

  31. Amarie H on March 13, 2023 at 6:04 am

    This worked perfectly! Had a huge random fluffy sock & did this for my Pomeranian/Papillon mix after his spring shave down. Still some chilly days left & he now is warm & extra adorable. Thanks!!

  32. BrettDuffy1992 on March 13, 2023 at 6:04 am

    Will it work on my 13-pound Chihuahua

  33. sexi lette on March 13, 2023 at 6:04 am

  34. Shell's Cookbook on March 13, 2023 at 6:08 am

    This is too cute and super easy

  35. Shyrah Hall on March 13, 2023 at 6:08 am

    I did this when i first brought my Chihuahua, he hated it refused to walk. He was a baby and so small, stayed cold. Now he is 10yrs old and only 3lbs lol.

  36. nevalee looney on March 13, 2023 at 6:08 am

    Very cute

  37. MsBTmom on March 13, 2023 at 6:09 am

    I am a big woman, so my socks are larger than average. I used an old stretched out one and it didn’t even come close to fitting my 5.7lb Chihuahua.

  38. Blagga D on March 13, 2023 at 6:13 am

    Just made a striking blue and black number for my tiny Jack russell pup who’s too small for xxs dog clothes he’s now warm and happy but was not impressed when I tried to put the hat on thanks 1 happy puppy

  39. Diane Galindo on March 13, 2023 at 6:14 am

  40. Cindy Barg on March 13, 2023 at 6:16 am

    Cool, we’ve been doing this for many years!

  41. Humpy And Bex on March 13, 2023 at 6:18 am

    Why cut the top of the sock off though…there is no need, just cut the bottom foot bit off and cut holes for arms

  42. Filip Žalud on March 13, 2023 at 6:18 am

    nice, now I have to guard my socks seriously, no one is safe.
