Dachshunds in Christmas Sweaters Sweatshirt: Four Embroidered Doxies in Fair Isle Knits and Snowflakes

This dachshunds in Christmas sweaters sweatshirt shows four red doxies in matching red Fair Isle sweaters, tumbling through a flurry of light blue snowflakes across the chest. It is a ready-made design, stitched to order in real embroidery rather than printed.

What is on the dachshunds in Christmas sweaters sweatshirt?

The four dogs fill the center of the chest in a loose, bouncing line. They take turns: the first and third point their noses up at the falling snow, while the second and fourth flip upside down, ears dangling and tails in the air, as if they slid off a snowbank.

• The doxies: smooth red coats, long floppy ears and thin curved tails.
• The sweaters: red knits with a Fair Isle band of blue and cream across the back.
• The snow: seven light blue snowflakes scattered between and around the dogs.

Is it a dachshund ugly Christmas sweatshirt?

It has the ugly Christmas sweater look, but the dogs are the ones wearing the knits. That is a nod to real winters with a doxie: short-coated dachshunds sit low to the cold ground, which is why so many of them end up in sweaters. Here all four are dressed alike, like a pack that shares one closet. You get the joke without the itch, because the garment itself is a soft fleece crewneck sweatshirt made for people, not a wool sweater and not dog clothing. The patterned knits make it a fair isle dachshund sweatshirt, and the soft fleece makes it easy to wear to a holiday party or a cookie swap.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color above and the photos switch to show the design on it. Dark colors make both the red sweaters and the light blue snowflakes stand out. On light and mid-tone colors the snowflakes look softer. On reds close to the sweaters, the knits blend a little into the fabric, and on deep warm colors the red coats darken while the patterned sweaters keep the design bright.

Is it a dachshund holiday sweatshirt for the whole family?

It works well for a family with more than one doxie, a dachshund mom or dad, or anyone who has ever wrestled a wiener dog into a winter sweater. Line it up for a family Christmas photo, wear it to the office party, or wrap it for a Secret Santa swap. There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same four doxies in Fair Isle sweaters come on our dachshunds in Christmas sweaters shirt, a short-sleeve version for warmer days. More doxies are in our dachshund sweatshirts.

Can you add a name to the sleeve?

Yes, and it is a nice way to name the real pack behind the four cartoon doxies. Type a name or initials for the left or right sleeve, then choose a font, an optional icon and a thread color from the charts in the photos. White is preselected for dark sweatshirts; a light sweatshirt calls for Black or another dark thread.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a design with black and tan dachshunds?

Yes. The dachshund mistletoe sweatshirt has four black and tan doxies in Santa hats, and the wiener dog Christmas sweatshirt has one red doxie pulling a Christmas tree on a sled.

Can the dachshunds look like my own dogs?

No, the four doxies are a ready-made design and are stitched as shown. You can still make it yours by adding your dog’s name on the sleeve.

Are the dachshunds printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered. The dogs, the Fair Isle pattern and the snowflakes are stitched in thread, so you can feel the texture and nothing will crack or peel.
