Make a Dog Sweater

Interested in knitting a sweater for your dog, but not sure where to start? Join Sarah for a 5-part class that will take you through all the steps of making a dog sweater (bonus: many of the skills used in this dog sweater are transferable to human sweaters!). The Lucky Dog Sweater is knitted flat tail-end down and then joined under the belly and knit in the round. If you can knit and purl confidently, cast off and cast on, you can knit this dog sweater. If you can increase stitches and decrease or knit in the round, great, but if not, we’ll cover those skills along the way.  

Class schedule (note: first two sessions are on Wednesdays and rest will be on Thursdays):

• Wednesday, 2/5: Becoming familiar with the pattern, calculating size, and getting started
• Wednesday, 2/12: Join for belly
  • Come to class with the tail end finished
• Thursday, 2/20: Divide chest and back

• This pattern is knit in worsted/aran weight yarn. A superwash yarn is recommended for ease of care. See pattern for size measurements--the yarn estimates are listed in yards for each size. If you are unsure about your dog’s size, don’t worry, we will cover sizing/size modifications during the first class
