The arrival of the early signs of spring is already visible here in Ireland. Even though you can’t smell the spring yet (the earthy aroma of plants and rain), the prospect of fresh, warm weather got me thinking about the lighter outfits. “Breathable” was designed with capricious spring weather in mind.

After admiring beautiful Lærke Bagger knit garments with beads I decided to have it a go and try it myself. “Beads and Diamonds” dog sweater pattern is a result of it.

After reading a post in one of the forums saying that “there are no dog sweater patterns suitable for beginners” I started creating this simple pattern. My aim was to make it as simple as possible, suitable for beginners and nice to look at.

Keep your little pet(s) cosy and warm upcoming autumn/winter with this cute sweater. It’s an easy pattern (if you have experience working with short rows) with full written instructions and photos.

This cute little sweater suits dogs with 30-32 cm around chest. The back length of the sweater - 26.5 cm (10.5”). It’s an easy pattern (if you have an experience working with short rows) with full written instructions and photos.
