Step 4Elasticize the neck
To help the snuggie "snug up" around your pup, add a piece of elastic along the small inner curve. This will cause the belly of the snuggie to stay close to your dog's belly instead of sagging open.
Stretch a piece of elastic across the center of the belly opening and pin (as shown). Three inches seemed like the appropriate amount for this size pattern. Yours may vary!
Zigzag across the outer edge of the elastic, attaching it to the fleece. The zigzag stitch will allow the elastic to stretch without popping the stitches! (see pic. 2)
Next, fold over this edge of the fabric, sandwiching the elastic between the fleece (see pic. 3). Zigzag stitch over this edge to create the hem of the snuggie.
Continue hemming around all edges of the snuggie.
