Stranded Dog Sweater with Hearts

This sweater is worked bottom-up, starting with the Body and then the Underbelly is knitted. Next, you will add all stitches onto one needle and the Collar will be worked. Then you will be stitching together the Underbelly part of the sweater to the Body, leaving a gap where the dog’s legs will go. It is a perfect gift for your dog for Valentine’s Day.
The pattern includes written step-by-step instructions and charts.
