A Whole New Year!
Well, so it's been a year since I posted to this blog. HAHA! Lots of people have made dog sweaters during that time, but I finished Dobby's Big Bird sweater yesterday. Here is Dobby showing off her bright new duds!
This is a good shot of the shoulder increases and the little cuffs.
I could have made it longer, but I was getting impatient.
Yes, it really is that bright and shiny. This shows off the belly ribbing and rump decreases.
I used Patons Kingfisher doubled up for the body and Bernat Boa for the collar and cuffs. The pattern, Esther Bozak's Original Custom-Fit Dog Sweater, is free and fabulous. It may take some math but you will really get a custom-fit sweater. I should have continued on to make Dobby's longer but I was tired and wanted to do some decreases. I definitely want to make her another sweater--something more casual and practical--and I will absolutely use Esther's pattern again. Charlie may even get a washable something out of this.
