Skipper dog
Knitted from soft Wonder Wool DK yarn, the Skipper dog sweater keeps your canine friend stylishly warm. The half brioche knit is comfortable and stretchy on and easy to dress your pet in. Fresh nautical stripes rhythm the knit but the dog sweater can also be knitted in a classic solid colour to match your own Skipper Stripe of Skipper zipper sweater.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. You can easily adjust the pattern for a perfect fit. To ensure a good fit, measure your dog’s neck and body girth first. This sweater is stretchy and designed to offer +/- 2 cm (0.75) of ease across the chest and 6 cm (2.5 in) of negative ease around the neck. Fit the sweater on your dog as you’re knitting and adapt it to your furry friend as required.
