Product Description
What dog lover wouldn’t be delighted with a magnificent hand-knitted sweater for Fido—and what knitter wouldn’t be proud to create it? Dog sweaters can be made with leftovers from larger projects, and completed in the same time it takes to knit a hat, scarf, or mittens. There are eight basic patterns with variations, plus instructions for sizing up or down, three patterns for hard-to-fit breeds (Pugs, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds), four accessories (a snood, a hat, a kerchief, and a collar), and three home projects (a bed, a blanket, and a toy). Photos of pooches wearing the finished sweaters, plus start-to-finish instructions (including how to measure the dog) ensure a stylish look and a perfect fit.

Doggie Knits,
This review is from: Doggie Knits: Sweaters & Accessories for Your Best Friend (Paperback)
This is by far the best dog sweater book I've come across! It explains how to measure and fit sweaters to any size dog. There are patterns for different breeds such as Dachshunds (short legs, long bodies!), Pugs (large chests, short bodies!). Also a few, not too many, quirkie patterns like tuque with ties (so it will stay on), snood to cover those easily frostbitten ears, collar covers etc. All in all an EXCELLENT buy.

Top quality book in every way,
By Luvtostitch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doggie Knits: Sweaters & Accessories for Your Best Friend (Paperback)
The reasons I love this book are:- very well explained techniques - author is a perfectionist and teaches tips to make a well constructed and well finished project - the author clearly had her hands in every phase of the creation of this book and you feel her personality in it everywhere - worsted weight (much warmer and easier to work with) yarns are used in the project - there are truly beautiful designs for every level of knitter - variety in the projects - I am just finishing the sweet little hat and scarf plus there is a bed pouch, collar cover, bandana - tips on dyeing your own wool using powdered drink mixes adds a nice creative touch As long as you don't mind learning to use circular needles in a way you may never have tried - and can use pictorial diagrams (I'm still getting my head around the techniques) - you'll be ready to create some beautiful warm sweaters for all your furry kids. 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful

Not happy,
By K. Paterson "kate" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doggie Knits: Sweaters & Accessories for Your Best Friend (Paperback)
I bought this book because I was attracted to the colours. The patterns were a little different and I was very excited. However, when I made my first article I found mistakes in the pattern. Stitches didn't add up to the correct number. Then, after adjusting that, the article did not turn out the size it was supposed to. It was way too small. This is despite having done a tension gauge, that was correct. Very disappointing. I gave the book to someone else and she tried the beanie. Again it turned out so much tinier than it should have.I feel very disappointed because the colours and patterns look lovely. This is the 2nd dog pattern book I have purchased where the patterns have mistakes. 9 of 11 people found the following review helpful

Great New Patterns,
By Madame Purl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doggie Knits: Sweaters & Accessories for Your Best Friend (Paperback)
I just got this book and it's wonderful. There are some great new techniques and some really cute new designs. The hat with holes for the ears and an attached scarf to wrap around is so adorable. I can't wait to knit that one. There is also a new snuggle bed pattern that I'm sure my cat will love. If you like pet knits, this one is worth the money for sure.
