Udo's Guernsey Sweater By Caitlin Shepherd, Plucky Pigeon Knits

As the winter months descend upon us, I am always struck by both the chill in the air and the great sense of whimsy for all things festive. This year a wee guernsey for your favourite furry friend might be just the thing for these cold and joyful months. Udo’s Guernsey is knit top-down and in the round. Scrap yarn is used to hold underarm stitches, and then later removed for knitting the sleeves. Short-rows at the back of the sweater provides a more comfortable and practical fit for both walkies and cuddles, with an optional lead/leash button-hole opening. Sample is shown in Bare Naked Wools Festivus 10.0 Worsted in Silent Night (blue).
