Celtic Braid Dog Sweater
Discover the charm of crafting an Easy Knit Doggie Sweater from the beloved Celtic Doggie Designs collection. This delightful pattern features a straightforward construction and an easy fit, combined with a traditional Celtic braid design that adds a touch of elegance to your furry friend’s wardrobe.
The pattern comes with comprehensive instructions tailored for small and medium-sized dog sweaters, ensuring a perfect fit for your pet. The small size is ideal for dogs weighing under 10 lbs, with a back length of approximately 8 to 10 inches and a chest measurement of 10 to 14 inches. For medium-sized dogs weighing between 10 to 20 lbs, the back length ranges from 12 to 14 inches, with a chest circumference of 14 to 18 inches.
When knitting your doggie sweater, you will need the following materials: worsted weight yarn (2 oz for the small size; 3 to 4 oz for the medium), a pair of size 8 or 9 US knitting needles (5 or 5.5 mm), and a cable needle or a large safety pin for those intricate braid techniques.
For successful knitting, achieving the right gauge is essential: 28 rows x 20 stitches equals a 4-inch by 4-inch block in stockinette stitch. The pattern instructions are clearly written and do not include charts, making them perfect for knitters of all skill levels.
