Why you'll love it

  • Made to moveSmall knitted gussets are grafted in under the front legs — “to give the sweater more mobility”, the pattern says.
  • Open at the back endThe back starts as a flat piece with ribbed edges; the belly stitches are cast on only after 8 to 12 cm, so the back end covers just the dog’s back (our reading).
  • A small patterned yoke15 (16, 18) rounds of white with acorn motifs and black sheep zigzags, decreased three times to the neck.
  • One ball of eachEach of the three colours takes one 50 g ball of Léttlopi, in every size.

Good to know

Voff — your questions, answered

Can I still buy the colours in the photo?
Yes, both. The red, white and green in our photos are still made (see the end of this answer), and so are the pattern’s own three colours, on the PDF cover: Léttlopi black sheep (0052), white (0051) and acorn (0053) — the leaflet prints “ocorn”. Our shop calls them black sheep heather, white and acorn heather. In the pattern’s photo black sheep is a very dark brown. Our kit for Voff is in our own colours — Léttlopi 9434, 0051 and 1407, which our shop calls crimson red, white and pine green heather — not the pattern’s.
Which size should I knit?
Three sizes for the dog. The sweater measures 27, 33 and 36 cm round the chest — within 1 cm of the body’s stitch count at the pattern’s gauge, by our check — and 20, 25 and 30 cm along the back (the size table prints just “Back”; that it is the length along the back is our reading). The pattern says: “Measure dogs length and body before starting, adjust the sweater length or width if necessary.”
How much yarn do I need?
One 50 g ball of Léttlopi in each of the three colours, in every size.
How is it made?
From the back end to the neck. The back starts as a flat piece with small rib edges; then the belly stitches are cast on and the body is knitted in the round. The two short sleeves for the front legs are knitted separately in the round and joined with the body for the yoke, and the neckband is a short rib. At the end a small gusset is knitted from the body stitches under each front leg, grafted to the sleeve and sewn at the sides.
Is anything unclear in the pattern?
Small things. The size table gives “Back” without saying what is measured. The third colour is printed “ocorn” — acorn, 0053. The list leaves out stitch holders and a tapestry needle. The stitch counts add up (our check).
Is everything in the photos part of the pattern?
Our photos show the dog sweater knitted in our own red, white and green, as packed in our kit — not in the pattern’s colours. The pattern’s own photo, in black sheep, white and acorn, is on the cover of the PDF.
How do I get the pattern?
The PDF is emailed to you right after purchase. Nothing is posted. It is in English and has 4 pages: the cover photo of a small dog in the sweater; a page with a small photo, the sizes, materials, gauge, notes, all the instructions, the chart and its key; a blank page; and Ístex’s back cover.
