Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Christmas Sweatshirt: Two Cavaliers in Beanies by a Christmas Tree

Two Blenheim Cavaliers share a little lit tree on this Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Christmas sweatshirt, one in a light blue knit beanie and one in a red beanie with a blue scarf. The pair is a ready-made design centered on the chest, and every detail, from the feathered ears to the tiny lights, is stitched in real embroidery thread rather than printed.

What is on the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Christmas sweatshirt?

The two spaniels sit side by side with the tree tucked between them, both looking straight out with round dark eyes and black noses.

• The Cavalier on the left: chestnut and white with long, wavy ears, wearing a light blue knit beanie pulled down low.
• The Cavalier on the right: the same Blenheim markings under a red knit beanie, with a blue knit scarf wrapped around its neck.
• The tree: a small green tree strung with warm yellow lights, set in a brown pot just behind the dogs.

Why are the Cavaliers in beanies instead of Santa hats?

Cavaliers were bred as companion lap dogs and are happiest close to their people, so this design dresses them for a cozy night in rather than a costume party. Knit beanies and a scarf feel like the hats you pull on for a winter walk, and the stitched texture makes them look like real knitwear. The long, silky ears spill out from under the hats the way a Cavalier’s ears always do, which keeps the breed easy to spot. The small potted tree finishes the scene, making it a quieter take on a Cavalier Christmas sweatshirt with no Santa suit in sight.

Which color should you choose?

The photos update when you pick a color in the options above. Both light and dark shades work here, because the white blazes and chests give the dogs a clean edge either way. Warm brown and rust tones close to the chestnut ears let the ears sink into the fabric, and soft blues close to the beanie and scarf make the knitwear fade a little. If you want the red beanie to pop, steer away from shades close to that red.

Who is this Cavalier Christmas sweatshirt for?

It suits a Cavalier mom or dad, a family with two spaniels on the couch, or anyone who walks a pair of Cavaliers every morning. If you were picturing a Cavalier King Charles Christmas sweater, this is the soft crewneck sweatshirt version of that idea, made for people rather than dogs. The same two Cavaliers come on our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Christmas shirt, a short-sleeve T-shirt, if you prefer a lighter layer. More breeds dressed for the season are in our dog Christmas sweatshirts.

Can you add a name to the sleeve?

Yes. One sleeve can carry your dogs’ names or your initials plus an icon, in the font and thread color you pick from the charts in the photos. White thread is preselected because it reads best on the dark sweatshirts; for light colors, switch to Black or another dark thread.

Ordering, sizing and care

Your sweatshirt is embroidered after you order and ships from the USA, with the estimated delivery date shown on this page. First we email a free design proof, and edits are unlimited until you approve it. To receive it by Christmas Day, order by December 8 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S. Made-to-order pieces cannot be exchanged for another size, so read the size guide on this page before checking out. Wash it cold and inside out, and keep the iron off the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Cavaliers look like my own dogs?

These two are a ready-made design in Blenheim colors, so their markings stay as shown. If you want your own dog’s face stitched from a photo, the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt is the one to choose.

Is this embroidered Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sweatshirt only for Christmas?

The lit tree makes it a holiday piece, but there are no words or dates on it, and the beanies and scarf feel wintry, so it still looks right in January. For more seasonal designs, browse our embroidered Christmas sweatshirts.

Are the Cavaliers printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered. The dogs, the beanies, the scarf and the little tree are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.
