Vertical panel jumpers and cardigans are some of the most often made and worn styles by Shetlanders so why should dogs be left out? The central panel of a small Norwegian Star motif is flanked by a rope-type motif and then easily repeated cross-seeding. All the Fair Isle is knit in the round with a steek, it’s then surrounded by an i-cord edging and 1x1 rib neck flap and strap. Named after an old Shetland Fishing boat it will make any canine friend a Shetland-worthy seadog.
