Snow Dog

Purchase on Ravelry

Getting ready to head out the door with your favorite pooch? We all know dogs want to accessorize too! What could be more fun than dressing your favorite four-legged friend in his or her very own Snow Dog sweater to strut theirstuff? And to make heads really turn as you and your pooch take to the sidewalks, knit up the matching Snow Cone cowl for yourself!

Snow Dog is written for five sizes, based on chest measurement and length from neck to tail. But, this sweater is easily modified to fit your pooch by simply changing needle sizing and/or adding or subtracting length to the body. The body is divided for the front legs, and the back and chest pieces are worked back and forth separately, making this project suitable for intermediate knitters. Weve even included a clever opening at the top for attaching a leash that will not interfere with your pups fashion statement.
