Thanks so much for posting this! The Fall '07 pledge class of Alpha Phi Omega at George Mason University will be using this tutorial to make blankets for the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation (ldrf.org). :)
Wasn't looking for any particular size. My stepdaughter and my niece like animals. I figured it would give them something to do toward a good cause.. much like the blankets! Perfect for a young child.

Hey East Teak, for larger animals, you can use fleece. It's available at just about every fabric store--even the discount ones where it's very inexpensive.

interesting...although I would need a bunch of these for my large dog.

All the patterns I found on-line were really time consuming. I needed something that would be quick to make, so I made my own patterns, using two strands of yarn with a big hook. Are you looking for a specific size? I have written instructions, for xs, s and m, which I really should type up...and then post. The smallest ones I think I could make in about an hour. (I started timing myself...heh.)

Excellent idea on the doggie sweaters! Do you happen to have a pattern laying around you can share that's quick and easy? If not, can you make recommendations for one?

'What's a woobie?'....??? A woobie is a security object, like a blanket or a stuffed animal. Around here 'woobie' is code for 'blanky'.
Hey, You Make Me Smile... That's fabulous! Another alternative would be go to to your local fabric outlet store and pick up some inexpensive polar fleece. I volunteer for the local AHS, and last fall I crocheted a dozen or so doggie sweaters for their holiday boutique. I was churning out sweaters like crazy!

Here's a link to an easy sweater. I used it as inspiration to make my own patterns.
