I'm a Fan! Dog Sweater
For pups who love their people and the teams they root for, this sweater barks, “I’m a Fan!”
The I’m a Fan! Dog Sweater is not a pattern you can follow. It’s a recipe that will guide you through the process of making a sweater based on your dog’s unique measurements and your unique knit gauge, using DK-weight yarn.
The sweater, itself, is an easy knit. The stitches are simple: k, p, M1L, M1R, k2tog, SSK, k1f&b and German Short Rows. What might be intimidating is the math. But trust me when I say, you can do it! Armed with a calculator and the step-by-step Recipe Worksheet included with the pattern, you’ll have all the tools necessary to successfully knit a customized sweater for your furry friend.
You’ll learn the most about customization if you do the math yourself; however, the pattern also includes links to the Recipe Worksheet online, either as an Excel file or Google Sheet. These spreadsheets will do all the math for you!
Yarn Required:
1 ball each of 2 colors (MC, CC) for dogs less than 60 lbs (27.5 kg)
2 balls each of 2 colors (MC, CC) for dogs greater than 60lbs (27.5 kg)
Model is a 20 lb schoodle. To knit her sweater, we used 56g MC + 38g CC for a total of 94g RUFF+TUMBLE DK.
Needles:
Pattern assumes you’ll be using size 4 & 6 needle tips (or size required to get desired fabric) with a 40” circular cable; however, it can also be worked on a combination of straight needles and dpns.
GAUGE WILL BE YOUR GAUGE, AS DETERMINED BY THE TWO GAUGE SWATCHES YOU MUST KNIT: 1) 1x1 Rib and 2) Stockinette in the round).
