Knitting: Pet wear
52 kudoz

Pet wear

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?
Category: Knitting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Pets

Style: Outdoorsy

Materials

basic acrylic yarn of worsted weight

What was your inspiration?

my favorite pups Musya and Stuart Little

What are you most proud of?

the patterns i have created are extremely well fitting and easy to knit at the same time. there is no need for DPN, which I am not a fan of and no knitting in a circle, though effect is the same.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

use the most basic yarn and create a basic item the first time around and once you see how the pattern comes together - venture into novelty yarns and let the yarn do the work.

These are my pups exactly, how wonderful! Isabella Rosallinni, and even though a female, our black mini is Sir Ballion, the first Christian defender of Jerusalem. Can hardly wait for the patterns, its cold here most of the year.

Isabella Rosallini is a wonderfully fitting name :) I got a bit sidetracked and the pattern is in limbo. However if you are already a knitter I can walk you, or any knitter, through it in 3 emails / stages. I have already had a few knitters take my private online class. Once you take it - you will not be able to stop knitting for your pups. Contact me through facebook for details. KNIT N PLAY http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Knit-N-Play/137850106250514

I adore your puppy sweaters! I've knit 2 baby blankets for my grandsons and numerous dishclothes. I have a 22 lb. Shitsu and would love to make her all of these sweaters for this winter, as in Ontario Canada are winters are COLD. It appears these are all smaller dogs than my Sasha, would I be able to adjust the size to make the end result fit her?

I love your sweatrs for pups! I have a Chi and I like a sweater than doesn't hang or too short, With no sleeves, I find my Maru will often get a leg hung up in the neck when playing, or stand when she has been lying down curled up and that concerns me! Their little bones and muscles are so tiny, it would be easy to have an injury that way. The neck of your sweaters is good too! Not gaping or sloppy, which also helps to prevent legs getting caught up. No DP needles? I love it! I hate those things! All round 101% for your designs. I'll be looking forward to patterns, Thank you for an intelligent and really sweet looking sweater that actually FITS a small dog! Well done :-)
