Pattern - Dog Sweater in Australian Women’s Weekly

Yarn - matches Em’s brioche pullover

Needles - 3.25mm & 5.00mm

May look like a lot of decreases, but it’s really just change in needle size so the ribbing stays intact. Brilliant! Picture looks like 1x1 rib but it’s 2x2 in the pattern; ribbing with stripes is called “reversible ribbing” which in today’s language means Brioche so this is going to be a lot of fun to knit. Also, there’s a stripe in the collar that isn’t shown in the picture. Choose yarn best for needle size of striping along body, not fingering yarn suggested.

Love knitting up old patterns, need to read it through a few times to get the flow since there are very few missing periods in the newsprint and a caption for another photo is inserted into the pattern. Once you get past that, this is a great pattern!

Going to add a buttonhole for Jackie’s harness and button & loop so it can be sized to her now but it can grow with her.

Start Brioche ribbed striping on the RS so it works once collar is turned over.
