Crochet Mini Granny Stitch Sweater

If you want to get your Tuna & Bones CAL stuffies ready for winter, then you will need to stitch them up a mini granny stitch sweater! This pattern is based off of the Granny Sweater Ornament pattern that you can find for free RIGHT HERE on Yarnspirations.com. But to make it fit Tuna the Cat and Bones the Dog, you will need to crochet it in rows instead of rounds. So I have updated the pattern to accommodate these changes. Written pattern is below.

Did you join in our Tuna & Bones CAL?! If not, it is never too late to start! I hosted a 3 week crochet-along over where I showed you how to make these adorable and easy amigurumi cat and dog toy stuffies!

Choose any colors you want for you sweaters! I suggest using Red heart Super Saver in two colors. I am using a Size H Crochet hook as well.
