The adorable Cork business that will knit your dog a cosy bobble hat and jumper

The cold snap is biting.
And if your dog’s looking at you like you’re crazy for insisting on going for a walk in this weather, it might be time to think about adding a little extra warmth to their winter wardrobe.
Enter Irish Dog Designs, based in Monkstown, Cork, and the creators of the most adorable, hand-knit Aran Irish dog sweaters and hats we’ve ever seen. Seriously, if you’ve ever wondered what perfection looks like, it’s your pup in one of these.

Crafted with love by Cork-based designer Ursula McGrath, these sweaters are made from 100% wool and come in gorgeous honeycomb and Irish Moss stitch designs. Whether it’s a cosy polo sweater or a stylish hat or scarf (yep, you can match with your dog—because why not?), these are statement pieces that will have your dog walking the streets of Cork like they’re the coolest pup in town.
And don’t worry if your dog is a bit of a mud magnet—these sweaters are machine washable at 40°C.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Hats start at €38, with wraps from €27
- Knit hoodies like the Donegal Spirit are available from €50
- Sweaters (the Connemara) come in six sizes and are also priced from €45
- For us humans, woollen mittens are €25

Not every dog needs an extra layer, but for older dogs or short-haired breeds, these sweaters can be a real lifesaver during those chilly walks.
