Mabel's Christmas Sweater
This is a beautifully crafted, snug-fitting sweater specifically designed for small dogs, featuring a charming Christmas Fair Isle design created for Mabel, the adorable miniature Schnauzer. Our expertly written instructions provide a clear guide for knitting a plain version of this delightful sweater, while the festive Fair Isle pattern has been fully charted in color, ensuring ease of use and enjoyment throughout your knitting journey.
Designed in two simple pieces, this sweater is a straightforward project, perfect for knitters with a bit of experience. It avoids complex stitch combinations, making it accessible for those familiar with basic techniques, charts, and picking up stitches. Whether you’re an intermediate knitter or looking to expand your skills, this pattern is ideal for adding a personal touch to your dog's winter wardrobe.
The final measurements for this lovely dog sweater are:
- Collar to hem (back): 43 cm
- Collar to hem (front): 39.5 cm
- Chest circumference: 44 cm
- Hind (waist) measurement: 36 cm
- Shoulder to front legs: 11.5 cm
- Between front legs: 11 cm
For this project, I recommend using Rowan Pure Wool Worsted yarn. Just one ball of this robust, machine-washable yarn is sufficient to complete the plain version, making it not only practical but also durable for everyday wear.
In addition to offering this adorable knitting pattern, I will proudly donate £1 from each pattern sold. This contribution will be split equally between the wonderful initiatives of Mad About Schnauzers UK and Battersea Dogs Home. By knitting this sweater, you're not only creating a cozy outfit for your small dog but also helping support dogs in need. Spread the love this holiday season and indulge in this rewarding project for your furry friend!
