Dogs on Sweaters (Knitting Patterns for Over 18 Different Breeds)

Dogs on Sweaters pairs simplicity and flexibility with a variety of knitwear patterns and styles for men, women, children, babies—and even dogs! Choose between basic designs for raglan, long-and-loose, relaxed-fit, and more; and then pick your favorite from among the eighteen featured breed motifs, or adapt your own. Play around with colors and markings, positions, and shapes, and add words, initials, or your own four-legged best friend's nickname. With patterns for accessories like hats and scarves, a baby blanket, and a charming dog coat included, alongside delightful full-color photographs and clear, easy-to-follow charts for all sizes, this cozy collection is thoroughly irresistible for knitters and dog lovers alike. Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne are co-authors of the bestselling Best in Show series of knitting books. This is their tenth book and combines their two great interests: knitting and dogs. They have run their own knitwear business, Muir and Osborne, for many years, exporting to stores in the United States, Japan and Europe as well as selling to shops in the United Kingdom. Several pieces of their knitwear are in the permanent collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, including their red sheep jumper as worn by Princess Diana.
