All measurements in centimetres. This guide covers the knitted crewneck in the adult and dog version. Every garment is knitted, not cut - tolerances are ±1.5 cm.
The adult sweater
The sweater has a relaxed, oversized fit with dropped shoulders. The chart shows garment measurements, laid flat. Size down for a closer fit, size up for an extra oversized look.
How to measure
A - Chest width: measure straight across the widest part of the chest on a sweater whose fit you like, laid flat. Compare with the garment chest width in the chart.
B - Length: from the highest point of the shoulder (at the neckline) straight down to the hem.
C - Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the cuff. The dropped shoulder makes the sleeve feel shorter than the measurement.
Size chart - adult (garment measurements in cm, flat)
| Size | A - Chest width | B - Length | C - Sleeve | Fits chest circumference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 55 | 63 | 52 | 80–88 |
| S | 58 | 66 | 53 | 88–96 |
| M | 61 | 69 | 54 | 96–104 |
| L | 64 | 71 | 55 | 104–112 |
| XL | 67 | 73 | 56 | 112–120 |
Between two sizes? Choose the larger one for the intended oversized silhouette.
Matching as a couple: the sweater is unisex, and the couples in our imagery often wear different sizes of the exact same garment. Go by your own favourite sweaters — not each other's.
The dog sweater
The dog sweater is knitted in the same yarn and pattern as the adult sweater, with a ribbed collar, ribbed leg openings and a shorter belly panel. The fit is developed around long-backed, deep-chested breeds - the dachshund is our fit model.
How to measure your dog
A - Back length: from where the collar sits (base of the neck between the shoulder blades) to the base of the tail. Measure with the dog standing.
B - Chest girth: around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.
C - Neck girth: where the collar normally sits.
Size chart - dog (the dog's body measurements in cm)
| Size | A - Back length | B - Chest girth | C - Neck girth |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | approx. 30 | 40–46 | 26–30 |
| M | approx. 35 | 46–54 | 30–34 |
| L | approx. 40 | 54–62 | 34–38 |
Knitwear stretches around the girth, but the back length is fixed. If your dog is between sizes in girth but right in length - go by the length. If the back is longer than the size states - go up one size.
Breed guidelines
Every dog is an individual - the measurements above always decide. But as a starting point:
| Size | Often fits |
|---|---|
| S | Miniature dachshund, chihuahua, miniature pinscher, yorkshire terrier, pomeranian |
| M | Standard dachshund, pug, jack russell, cavalier king charles, bichon frise |
| L | French bulldog, cocker spaniel, cockapoo, border terrier, shiba inu |
Deep-chested breeds (e.g. french bulldogs and dachshunds) may need one size larger than their weight suggests - the chest girth decides, not the kilos.
Care
Dry flat, machine wash at 30 degrees on a wool/delicate cycle, gently reshape. Applies to both sweaters - they are, after all, knitted from the same yarn.
