This sweater is perfect for beginners and seasoned sweater knitters alike and it comes with two neckline versions for either a turtleneck or crew neck!

The original Dog Walker is knit circularly from the top down with straightforward shaping around the neck and raglan sleeves. Picked up stitches at the neckline create a cozy broken-rib turtleneck with matching cuffs and hem.
Written for both worsted and aran weights across multiple sizes, there’s sure to be an option for everyone.

The crew neck version looks great on its own or perfect for popping the collar of your favorite shirt. It’s knit similarly to the original Dog Walker, except for a folded, hemmed crew neck that gives the sweater a clean, polished finish.

Also, the sample shown is knitted slightly shorter the the original, which lends to more of a sweatshirt look. One of the many advantages of a top-down sweater is the ability to customize the length to your preference. It’s knitted with Primo DK held together with Aura Lace to produce a fabric that has a beautiful halo with a subtle marled effect.
