CHUHUAHUA SWEATER 2

This is a pattern for a sweater designed to fit a Chihuahua.  This was a request by a co-worker of mine.  I used camouflage yarn because that is what was requested.  It can be made in any color.  It can also be made to show your team support by making it in your favorite team colors and using aida cloth to cross-stitch your favorite team’s logo that can be found also on this blog.
