This design is a collaboration between Kate Davies and Sandra Manson, of Jamieson and Smith. It features Kate’s original ‘Rams and Yowes’ charts and was designed and knitted for Sandra’s Yorkshire Terrier, Toby, whose distinctive knitwear makes him Shetland’s best turned-out canine!

Finished dimensions of coat:
From Neck to Tail: 38cm (15in)
Edge to edge across belly: 46cm (18in)
Going up a needle size & adjusting gauge is a simple way of increasing the basic dimensions of this coat.

3mm (UK 11/US 2-3) double-pointed needles (dpns)
