Dog shoes are not only an addition to a trendy jumpsuit or sweater. Boots and boots protect the dog's paws from snow and dirt, and in cold weather they allow you to extend walks, preventing the pet from freezing. If you know how to knit, be sure to please your pet with a new thing - in soft woolen boots he will be cozy and comfortable.
It is necessary
- - crochet hook;

- - linen elastic;
- - tape measure;
- - leather sole flap.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what kind of footwear your dog needs. You can knit slippers - they are just above the wrist joint. This model is suitable for long-haired breeds. Smooth-haired people will prefer high boots, which are equipped with two fasteners for secure fixation.
Step 2
Take measurements from your pet. Place his paw on a piece of paper and outline the outline - this is the silhouette of the future sole. Measure the length of your foot from the ground to the wrist, as well as its width. Make a note of all data.
Step 3
Make a sample for calculation. Cast on 10 stitches and knit 10 rows with single crochet. Measure the resulting length and calculate the number of loops in one centimeter. Multiply the resulting figure by the width of the pet's paws, adding half a centimeter to the free fit.
Step 4
Tie a chain of the required number of chain stitches and close it into a ring. This is a blank for the boot shaft. Knit in single crochet stitches to desired length. When finished, secure the last loop with a knot.
Step 5
Tie a chain of the required number of chain stitches and close it into a ring. This is a blank for the boot shaft. Knit in single crochet stitches to desired length. When finished, secure the last loop with a knot.
Step 6
Make a circle sole. Tie three chain stitches, close them in a ring. In the next row, expand the circle by knitting two single crochets from each loop. Increase the third row according to the picture. Make sure that the sole does not come in waves. Measure it constantly by comparing it to the drawing of the dog's paw. Having knitted to the desired size, attach the bootleg to the sole and connect the parts to each other with single crochet. The scar of the seam should be outside - so it will not rub the dog's paws. Tie three more boots in the same way.
Step 7
If you plan to walk in wet weather, sew leather soles to the knitted boots. Cut out a blank along the outline of the dog's paw and sew it to the bottom of the boot with a thick needle. To keep the shoe secured on your foot, pull the laces over the top edge and tie them. An elastic band pulled through the drawstring will secure the shoes more tightly. The higher the boot, the more securely it is attached to the paw.
