This is a variation on the first chihuahua sweater pattern i made. This one is less stiff and quicker to make. There might be a problem with puppies getting their feet in the double crochet so I don't think I would reccomend for puppies, but for grown chihuahuas around 2 lbs, this should work great.
As with all my patterns, these are for personal use! do not post this pattern anywhere or make these to profit. You may link to it, though. Items made are not to be sold unless for charity. You can donate items made from this pattern to animal shelters if you wish.

I just used this to make my Shih-Tzu puppy a little dress. I altered a bit, and I'm about to make a second one! I just added a trim and some ruffles at the bottom. Thanks for sharing this pattern!
