Here's some pics of my miniature pinscher in her new sweater. Not very good photos: she won't sit still for long when I bring out the camera. What a diva!

She's a cutie-pie! Great job on the sweater.

I have Italian Greyhounds that should probably wear sweaters, but two of the boys would rather play tug of war with a sweater than wear it. Besides, if they want warmth, they just form a doggie pile under a blanket. If I had just one dog, a sweater might be possible.

That's way cool. I love the way the neck blends down into the front, while the back and sides are different.

Thanks. It wasn't terribly

Thanks. It wasn't terribly hard, just time consuming. The pattern is the Darling Darby Sweater. It's a free download on Ravelry, and it's basically a template. I did the back of the sweater in blackberry stitch. Something about the color made me think of raspberries, so I was inspired to make a similar texture. I had to modify it because I was knitting in the round, and all stitch dictionaries showed the pattern for flat knitting. I have knit "several" different sweaters for both my dogs using this pattern. It's really the best dog sweater pattern I've found, and it's limitless as far as design possibilities. I recommend it.
