Lady in Red Doggy Dress
Lady in Red is a cute, fairly easy sweater for your pretty pooch!
It is knit in the round from the top down, seamlessly. I used Red Heart Soft Yarn in Wine color here. Any, worsted weight yarn would work though. Openings for front legs are knit similar to Raglan style sleeves. Placing the stitches on waste yarn and then picking them up at the end to knit a little cuff “sleeve”. The only tricky part could be attaching the ribbon to the end of the outfit.
For the Ruffle: I used Red Hearts Boutique Ribbons in color Sangria here. On their website there are some tips for using the Ribbon:
Also, I have added a YouTube video on how to attach the Ribbon Yarn. :
Examples of Dogs for sizing:
XS: Maltese, Yorkie, Chihuahua (5-7lbs)
S: Bichon
M: Cocker Spaniel
Hope your doggy enjoys her outfit as much as my Trixi does!!
Error in leg openings, please see below:
Note: At this point I suggest to try sweater on your dog - you can add or subtract a few rows here if needed, before making leg openings.
