Anyone crochet animal sweaters?

[craftymama86]

I thought about crocheting a little baby goat sweater, just in case. Anyone else ever made any, crochet or otherwise?

Sounds great! I know some people have but, I have not. I bought some. Betty is getting close. (my preg doe.)

Do the does not bother the sweater while the kid wears it? She won't try to eat it? Lol. I think that's my only concern.

Hmm.. I think all does are different but,How about you try a different material.

A different material, in what way?

Oh, duh, ok. Haha. So like, fleece? I have some fleece I can use. Male and female colors. I think I will do that.


Should I double layer it or should one layer be enough?

Never crocheted one but I have a dog sweater that one of my little goats wears.

You could probably use a dog sweater pattern and modify it slightly. Boys will need a hole to pee out of, of course. I could try to make one as a tester?

I knit baby goat sweaters. If you give me a measurement I would be more then happy to knit you one. For a small fee of course. You can even pick the color(s).
