Granny Square Dog Coat Crochet Pattern (5 Sizes XS–XL)

Create a cosy and colourful dog coat with this adaptable granny square dog coat crochet pattern, designed to fit dogs of all shapes and sizes.

Originally created for the Knitted Jumper Competition on Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas, this eye-catching dog coat was modelled on television by Betty herself.

This granny square dog coat crochet pattern combines classic crochet motifs with a practical, wearable design that sits neatly over your dog’s back and fastens securely under the tummy.

The original version uses bold, seasonal colours, but the pattern works beautifully in any colour combination — brights, pastels, neutrals, or modern monochrome.
