Canine Stripes Sweater
A classy edition to any dog’s closet, Canine Stripes Sweater features a simple seamless top-down construction with rib detailing along the neck, chest and sleeves to provide a comfortable fit. Optional short rows shape the gently curved rump.
Comes in 4 sizes suitable for up to medium-sized dogs, all can be knit up from just one Uneek Sock kit.
The luxurious merino in combination with nylon for durability is the perfect blend to keep even the chilliest dogs cozy.
Use the Tigress or Zebra colorway to bring out your companion’s wilder side this Halloween, or opt for any of our classic Uneek stripes.
Pattern Notes: The dog sweater is worked top-down in the round, starting with the neck ribbing. Increases are worked to accommodate the chest and shoulders. The work is then split to create holes for the front legs, with the shoulder and chest pieces worked flat. The body is then joined and shaped with decreases in the round. Next, a back piece with optional short-row shaping and a ribbed hem are knit flat. Finally, stitches for sleeves are picked up and knit around the holes left by the shoulder and chest pieces.
