Knits that Fit

This is a well written book on small dog knits that actually fit your little pooch. Have made three of the outfits so far for my poodle, Buddy and he loves them. There is no pulling at the legs and no pushing the collar way up to his head. We measured and tried on along the knitting way, but found the pattern to be exaxctly correct, even for the button-hole placements and tabs. Horray, for Puppyknits and the cute fashions it contains. We get oohs and ahhs everywhere we go and the little hoodie outfit makes a great Santa outfit using red yarn!

What a hoot!

I love this book!!! The photos of these pups are amazing--how on earth did they get these little dogs to pose so well? And there are adorable little puppy profiles, describing the likes and dislikes of each model! So funny. The projects are irresistible--I love the bright pink knitted neck-warming on that gorgeous pug! And the Jester sweater on the cover is to die for. Love, love, love it.

Good start

This is actually one of the better books I have found so far for knitting petwear. All the patterns are basically two different styles- sweaters and something that looks like a cape with a tab on the underneath. The book has patterns that emerge from either of those basic styles. I would recommend some general knitting experience with this book- the stitches range from basic stockinette to cable, but you probably should have some knitting instructions to understand. There's also patterns for a cute hat and scarf/collar. All are very quicknit even if you only have a couple hours. I finished my first one, a sweater, in 3 hours. My second one took about 4 hours because of the smaller needles. The patterns are for small dogs around 18 inches in body length or shorter.
