Last year when my dog Mikey was still a 6 month old puppy I made him a few sweaters on my standard electronic, he loved them!
Now that he is 1-1/2 years old he has outgrown them and time for new ones.
The other evening I wanted to make something fast for him, so I went to my bulky machine and created the below tuck stitch sweater for him; it's just over 4 ounces of worsted weight yarn.
Mikey is about 30 pounds, a Terrier & Sheltie mix and my best friend. Notice it is anatomically correct too! Some of the dog sweaters I have seen use straps, elastic or the back is some sort of flap that just sits on top of the dogs back. Not liking those, I made this in true pullover fashion.
I have all my notes, gauge and etc. that I will type up later in the week and send to those who may like to make one too.
Now, to get Mikey to pose for a picture...

Vanda, from you a true compliment!
DeleteGreat Sweater; like the tuck detail.
ReplyDeleteI recently finished a hoodie dog sweater for my Shih Tzu. It was a hand knitting pattern that I redesigned for my mid-gauge. I've put a photo of it on my blog http://addicted2machineknitting.blogspot.co.uk/p/gallery.html
You've got a great blog.
Thanks
Val
