Sized for dogs from teacup to couch-hogger, you will begin Sole’s beautiful sweater at the tail end, working flat, then join to work in the round for the chest. After dividing the chest and back for the “armholes,” you rejoin and work in the round for the yoke and collar.

Our Flax Down yarn, a lovely single ply, is the perfect complement to squishy brioche stitch. Both Fair Trade and Responsible Wool Standard Certified, Flax Down combines baby alpaca, extra fine merino, and linen for a yarn that is strong and soft, with a light tweedy haze. It’s just wonderful.
