New Puppy - New Sweaters!

With the advent of a new puppy being brought home comes a desire to knit lots of new sweaters! Here are a few of the sweaters that worked the best for Ethel and I. Ethel doesn't photograph well, so bear with the goofy puppy shots.

This is not the first sweater I made for Ethel. It's the second. The first didn't turn out near big enough! This one fit much better, but we struggle to get her feet through the sleeves, and it turns out she doesn't enjoy getting her sweaters put on her. Being such a small dog though, she absolutely freezes in cold weather though, so they're pretty necessary.

I made this one next. It fits much better than the first wearable one, but it's a little short in the back. Ethel is a very long dog!

I made this one most recently, and while it's absolutely too big for her, she seems to be the most okay with wearing it. I will use this pattern for the next sweater I made for her. Her next sweater will use the k2, p2 ribbing instead of k1, p1. I'll make the turtle neck shorter again, and shorted the length of the body of the sweater. I do love how easy it is for her to get into and out of this sweater though, so I think I will keep the size of the body and sleeves the same.
