I made this sweater for my big guy because you could buy sweaters but they didn’t fit. There were no knitting patterns out at the time to fit our big pets. I will be adding at the end of each section the way I made our sweater size 41 inch. I have been told it is too much and others wanted the extra. Making the best fitting sweater for your furbaby is what we are working for.

Chest Sizes: 10-14 (16-21)
This sweater was designed for the toy group
but is easily adapted to fit most any pet you love.
Materials: Fingering weight yarn (all fibers will work for this sweater just be sure to hand wash if you use wool or animal fiber. Estimated yardage 200 yards (50 grams). I always purchase extra due to individual knitting style.
