All you need is an oversize sock to whip up an adorable sweater for a tiny dog.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A large clean sock
Scissors

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.

Please don't do this. Dogs have fur, they're warm enough.

you have to put sweater on these types of dogs. because they are so small and in the winter they will freeze.

@CosmoGirlXOX Daww. But yeah, Short haired dogs need extra insulation sometimes, as do smaller dogs.

[CosmoGirlXOX]

@PykohYT Yep. (: Bichon Shih Tzu. He's on the smaller side - even for his breed.

@CosmoGirlXOX do you have a lap dog? I wasn't thinking of those when I posted that comment.

poor dog

@PykohYT Actually, my dog needs to wear a sweater during the winter, otherwise he gets too cold; he'll visibily shake from it. Granted, this wouldn't keep him warm, but he does need to wear an actual sweater; some dog clothing isn't made to humiliate them, like some people think.
