Stand Collar Four-Leg Petwear Pattern Generator

Measure the body, front legs and hind legs

The four-leg draft uses chest, neck, back length, front-leg gap, front-leg circumference and length, plus hip-to-thigh-root length, hind-leg circumference and hind-leg length. Measure the front and hind legs separately with the pet standing naturally rather than reusing another pet's values.

Record your pet's actual measurements first, then consider the stretch of your chosen fabric. Stretchier fabric may call for an adjustment to circumference inputs; do not scale back length or leg gaps along with them. See the measurement guide below for measuring methods and stretch-fabric guidance.

Review the fixed stand collar and all four leg openings

This page uses a fixed stand collar and base sleeves. Before export, review the collar area, torso coverage, the order and pairing of all leg openings, sleeve and trouser lengths, and left-right correspondence. Recheck hip-to-thigh-root length first if the hind-leg position looks wrong.

Test the full range of four-leg movement

Four-leg garments depend more heavily on dynamic fitting than vests. Test in material with similar behaviour and check the neck, underarms, belly and hind-leg roots while the pet walks, sits, turns and toilets. Correct any restriction before final construction.

Each payment includes two PDF exports for the same pattern style. Make a test garment after the first export. If a measurement was wrong or the fabric stretch makes the fit too loose or tight, recheck and adjust the relevant measurements, then use the remaining export for the revised pattern.
