This shawl collar dog sweater gives your pup that cozy grandpa vibe. the not too fussy braided cable at the collar edge, gives it just that little bit of fun. The mitered collar construction gives a flexible fit to accommodate both slimmer necks and those adorable pug sized necks. The body is fairly simple with a little shaping and rib at the belly for a comfy fit. Options for both male and female dogs are included. Purl Soho’s Season Alpaca gives a buttery soft feel and gorgeous color options, but it should work well with most sport weight yarns. Video tutorials coming soon for a few of the tricky steps! link will be added here and announced on instagram @haute_dogue
