Pattern Notes
This comfortable dog jumper is knitted sideways, beginning with a provisional cast on at the underbody, then working up the left side of the body. An afterthought opening for the left leg is placed with waste yarn, then the hem, shoulder, neck and collar are shaped with increases, decreases and short rows. This shaping is reversed when working the right side of the body and placing the right leg opening. The underbody is joined with a three needle bind off, then both leg openings are finished with a sturdy i-cord worked with yarn held double.
