Two patterns in one!

This pattern is part of Knitty’s Deep Fall 2022 Issue!

Updated patterns include videos and can be found here: dog sweater & legwarmers!

Pattern Notes:
The dog sweater has increases on the chest between the rows of colorwork, an optional leash hole and tummy shaping. The front sleeves are created by binding off for the armholes and then later picking up the stitches around them, and then knitting the sleeves. Instructions are included for knitting a short sleeve with a ribbed cuff, and of course they can be as long as you’d like.

The sweater and the legwarmers are meant to be oversized for a cozy feel. Both versions are knit seamlessly in the round, beginning and ending with striped ribbing, and two color stranded colorwork throughout. The color combinations are endless, and you can add a pop of other colors wherever you’d like with duplicate stitch after you finish knitting.
