    About

    My dog gets cold when we shave him down in the winter. So I wanted to make him a sweater. We have 2 doodles, and I made another sweater that was really too big. I used the basic pattern of the city stripes/tweed sweater, but I added a few things: I did ribbing on the waist of the under piece, end of the top piece and around the neck. I also ribbed the chest piece so that it was still stretchy, but fit a little better.

    I used Caron Simply Soft yarn, 2 held together on a size 11 needle. The ribbing I did on a size 10.

      Hi I have a question for you. I've made 2 of these and just finished knitting my 3rd. My first 2 have been tight in the neck area. I've been centering the bottom tapered part with the bigger piece so they're even at the top & I then sew. Any help you can give would be great thanks!

      I have 2 goldendoodles, 1 48lbs, 1 60lbs, when knitting for the one in the picture with solid yarn how many skines of the recommended yarn did this take?
