I have a small Chihuahua and I need patterns to make coats, clothes, maybe some booties. He's cold all the time. Are there some websites that have free ones? I've checked some. Any help would be great.

If you find any, could you please let me know too. I can't find anything small enough. She's only 2 pounds and tiny as can be. Everything I've found sofar is too big :(
I use socks from the dollar store for out little girl. Cut the toe off the make button holes where the legs should be. For Boots use newborn socks cut lengthwise (toe to opening) sew along the just you made on eat sock now you have 4 socks out of 1 pair of socks.
Look for Guinea pig clothes. Mine only weighs 4 pounds and this is where I got her harness. I make her clothes.
This one worked for me!

Use a leg warmer and cut holes. That will work I think
I found that when carmi was small (1 mo ) that a nice warm stocking cut off at the heel, made an excellent body warmer. and I stitched around the bottom so that it would not unravel. it worked great. also an old turtleneck sleeve, using the cuff as the collar, I cut 2 holes for the legs and presto another dress.
I went to Hobby Lobby and checked the pattern section and found alot of patterns for dogs. There is some with dresses and coats.
Also we went to a Thrift store and found some premie baby clothes and they seem to fit our chi's really well. Our chi's are 2.3lb and 2.7lb. They are 7 months old.
If you go to a search engine and type in dog clothes patterns you might find some there.
I have made my 2 little chi's some beautiful dresse. Now the people that I met at Pet Smart has asked me to make them for their dogs. I sell each dress for 15 dollars. They are only one of a kind dresses. I never make a dress the same so that you can be the only one that has one like it.
i have been looking for patterns for my cat Grr and there are patterns at the following websites : )

Hope this helps : )

I would like to know that too. M chi/rat terrier is always cold as well. She sleeps under the comforter with me at night. She sleeps by my feet. If you find any free booties, please let me know. I would go to the ends of the earth for her. Her name is Precious and she is the best. Carole
I am 78 years old and my eyes aren't so good so I am wondering if anyone has second hand cloths (coats mainly for my Chihuahua, mixed with something else. The owner said he would probably get to 7-8 pounds as he is the runt of the litter.
I've got a dwarf bunny in the same size range. If you use the circle knitters sold at craft stores and in craft departments (the ones with the pegs) you can make a sweater for any small critter. Just look for a circle about the size of your critter's waist. I can't knit, and I made 2 sweaters for my bunny using this method:
Start by making a short tube for the neck, and then knit around 1/2 of the circle to get past the legs. If you have a girl, then knit a tube to just short of the hip bones. If you have a boy, knit a tube over the tummy, and then knit 1/2 the circle until you get near the hip bones. When the sweater is long enough, you with take it off the loom by looping the last loop back through the previous loop (etc.
I got the original idea from:
www.crochetnmore.com/
but my boy's sweaters have an extra flap attached to the back for more warmth.
If you get rid of the sleeves, pet sweaters are easy. I hope you have as much fun making them as I do.
I forgot to mention that the small circle knitters can be used to make knitted booties (tube-sock style) - make sure that you double-loop them for more warmth.
The chihuahua pattern above is great, as it can be sized well. I know I have 3 chihuahuas 3#, 5#, and 13#. It works great. Thanks
Hello, check on ebay under used dog clothes sz xxs or xs they have clothes by the lots and cute ones, too. For the girls there are dresses, jacket, shirts and pretty cheap also. Best buy
Check ebay for used dog clothes sz xxs . They have clothes by the lots people sell and they are cheap. Some lots you will get jackets, coats, shirts, skirts, etc. Also if you want little boots look under dog boots or used dog boots, great selection, but measure first so your baby is comfortable. The tie on shoes are a pain, but the velcro closures are good. Look at the stiffness of the shoe, rubber sole on bottom and when measuring their foot include toenails.
Hello diar!
I've seen here a pattern - chihuahua-clothes.blogspot.com/
Maybe it's what you are looking for.
I have a chihuahua/pom mix. She looks like a long haired chihuahua. However she "luvs" dressing up. I go to the local thrift stores & buy 0 to 3 month infant sweaters and alter the. I shorten the arms and if there is a button or zipper, I remove them & then sew the seam that will go on her belly. For boys I cut & hem sew most of the fit it around their chest so when they pee they don't get the clothes wet. My little Sabrins even has "a little black dress" lol.
