Product Description

Owners and their pets can show off with this collection of 12 fun and upbeat knitwear designs for the stylish dog about town. Cute everyday sweaters and ritzy special occasion designs even include a felted, waterproof sweater for drizzly days. As well as sweaters, there are hats for every occasion, such as the Holiday Spritz and the Puppy Fez. All are knitted in fine quality yarns that are soft, sumptuous, and never itchy. The book also showcases a range of accessories, such as a collar and leash, felted toys, and a cozy doggie bed. A measuring chart for breeds of all sizes, knit-to-fit instructions, and a primer on basic stitches make this an all-in-one guide in a fun, portable format. Quick to knit and very functional, these are knits that any pooch would be happy to wear.

precious ideas4
I bought this book several years ago and have made some variation of most of the sweaters. The ideas and color combinations are incredible. The dogs are beyond adorable. Even though I am an experienced knitter I did find some of the instructions vague and incomplete. I would consider this a resource book with concepts and not a technical manual but would definately buy this book again.

Disappointing2
Two fo the twelve designs are for a Puppy Fez and a Collar Cuff (scarf for the dog) and things I would never make for any dog. There are really only 3 sweater designs in this book, all knit flat and seamed up. The others are variations of these three patterns using a different stitch pattern in a few but mostly just color choices.

I really wish my local library had had this book so I could have looked through it before spending $ on it. It's not worth $14 for the one pattern I'd actually use.
