Keep your furry friend warm and stylish with this adorable raglan sweater! The raglan construction creates a comfortable and tailored fit for your dog, ensuring they stay snug during chilly walks or lazy days indoors.

This pattern provides a basic framework for a raglan sweater tailored to fit your furry companion, designed for chest sizes ranging from 22 to 32 inches (55-80cm).

This sweater is worked top down, starting with the Collar and the Body in the round, and features easy increases for the raglan. Next, you will separate the Body and Sleeves to work each separately. Then you will be working the Body Ending in rows and the Ribbed Hem in the round and lastly, the Ribbed Cuffs on sleeves will be worked.

Very giddy Lanky mutt Red is modeling this sweater for me :)
