GAUGE:
6 hdc + 5 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Urban Granny Dog Sweater Reviewed by Heather duLuard on 2009-09-16
I really like this pattern because it is easy to adjust. I have a papillion who is long but not very round. I was able to make the smallest chest piece but the next size up for the back. I added one extra row (not round just a row) on the chest piece to cover more of his belly. The only reason that I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because the neck just seems odd. Again, this is probably easily personalized though. Overall, a very good and quick project.
