“This blanket-type colourwork dog coat is knitted in the round with Shetland wool, using steeks at the front and neck openings,” says Outi Kater. “The coat is closed with buttons at the neck, and kept in place with a belt under the belly. Dogs come in all sizes and shapes, so all measurements are easily adjustable, but remember that this
may affect the amount of yarn needed for the project. Never leave your dog wearing the coat unsupervised.”
