Is there a very good dog in your life that deserves a very beautiful sweater? Tapping into her day job as a fashion designer, Sole Salvo designed the Lucky Dog Sweater for lucky dogs indeed! Fitting dogs of most shapes and sizes, the pattern is full of helpful tips for shortening, lengthening, and widening, with different shaping in the belly area for girls and boys. Lots of 2×2 ribbing allows the sweater to stretch around the contours of your dog’s body for a close yet comfortable fit. Knit up a gorgeous sweater that you and your pup will love in our Daily Wool, a superwash wool yarn that can stand up to daily walks, daily cuddles, and daily wrestling with your furry best friend!
