My lovely Pug Frank is getting old and appears to have lost quite a lot of his coat and in the cooler weather feels a little chilly! This little sweater is knitted with worsted weight yarn in the round from the top down with a ribbed trim around the edges .

My gauge was 4.25 stitches to the inch. The original sweater is based on Frank’s measurements of: collar 16” (40.5cm), collar to within an inch of tail base 15” (38cm) and around his rib cage 23” (58cm). All these measurements were fairly relaxed and the tape measure wasn’t pulled tightly.
