📏 GAUGE
14 stitches × 12 rounds/rows in Lemon Peel Stitch = 10 × 10 cm / 4 × 4 in
Gauge is measured using a 5.5 mm crochet hook after relaxing/blocking.
Checking gauge before beginning is important for achieving the intended finished measurements.
🎯 SKILL LEVEL
Advanced Beginner / Intermediate
This pattern is suitable for crocheters who are comfortable with basic crochet stitches, working in rounds and rows, increasing, working into the back loop, following stitch counts, and simple finishing/seaming.
💕 DESIGNED FOR COMFORT
The shorter belly provides practical clearance while the longer back offers additional coverage.
Two front leg openings allow comfortable movement, while the roomy hood can fold back onto the sweater when it is not being worn over the head.
The hood should never be tied closed around your dog’s neck. Always supervise your pet while wearing handmade clothing.
