Another lovely stranded Norwegian Style Sweater, warm and perfect for winter and Holiday season.

This sweater is worked bottom up, starting with the Back and then the Underbelly is knitted. After completing the Back and Underbelly, stitches from both are worked together to form the Collar. Lastly, the Back and Underbelly sides are seamed together, leaving a gap for the dog’s legs, and the Collar is seamed closed.
