Have a furry family member who needs an extra layer to stay cozy when the north winds howl? Here’s a fun-to-knit design that is handsome and very wearable, whether out on a walk or lounging about the house. Knit in natural shades of breathable wool that discourage bacteria and odor, this pullover is available in ten sizes—five for petite pets and five for tall, from chest 12 to 39 inches / 30.5 to 99 cm—to knit in heavy DK or light worsted yarns.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size, drape, and yardage requirement.
