Does anyone have a knitting pattern for a sweater for a Dachshund they would share?”
…it is easily customizeable for a dachshund or just about any dog because it is based on the measurements of your dog’s neck and his back length. Pictures of completed sweaters from this pattern can be seen here: http://www.redlipstick.net/knit/chisw_gall.html MATERIALS: (1) sizes 5 and 7 knitting needles. (2) Worsted wool, about 4 ounces. LET’S GO: (3) Measure your pet’s neck. I usually use a size 5 or 6 needle for a tightly knit ribbing (not too tight!). Wylie’s neck is 10″, and I cast on, loosely, 40 or 42 stitches. (4) Knit 1×1, or 2×2 ribbing for 3″ for a mock neck, or 6″ or 7″ for a turtleneck. (5) Change to a size 7 needle, and commence in the stitch of your choice. After you’ve knit one or two of these, you can see how easy it is to add cables, colorwork, or other texture stitches in this back area. For the first one, let’s knit in my favorite basic stitch, garter. That is, knit every row! Can’t beat
