A dog sweater is extremely comfortable. It will save your pet from frost and snow, and a knitted product will be much more comfortable for him than in immense overalls, because the sweater does not interfere with free movement, but fits snugly on the body. One problem: not every needlewoman will decide to knit such a thing. After all, the anatomy of dogs is not an easy one. However, you can simply and quickly knit a sweater with a little imagination.
It is necessary
yarn (several colors are possible); - knitting needles of a suitable size; - pin; - centimeter; - hook; - a needle
Instructions
Step 1
The most important part of knitting a dog sweater quickly is taking measurements and calculating the stitches. Position the dog level or ask someone to help you. Measure the girth of the neck (do not tighten tightly), the distance between the legs, the width from the outer base of one paw to the other, the length along the back and along the tummy (both measurements are from the place where the neck was measured). Record your results.
Step 2
To knit a dog sweater quickly, make the necessary patterns and calculate the loops correctly. For this model of a sweater, elastic knitting must be used. It can be no more than 3x3 reps to ensure that it stretches well. The front surface (on the back) and some kind of pattern are also used. Sample each knit and count the number of stitches per cm in each variation.
Step 3
In this case, a sweater for a dog will consist of several parts. This is the neck, belly (and breast at the same time), back. You can knit the paws later if you wish. Start knitting your dog's sweater with an elastic band at the neckline. Tie the desired gate height and close the hinges.
Step 4
Also knit a "belly" with an elastic band. You should have a fairly long detail, because it will go straight from the collar to the chest. When you're done, move on to the back. Please note that it is better to round the back to the tail, i.e. gradually start decreasing the loops. When the back is ready, make a strapping along the bottom. This will make the product look more beautiful.
Step 5
Steam off all the parts and start assembling. First, close the gate in the ring. His seam will have to fall in the middle of the tied belly breast. Attach the piece and stretch the ends slightly. So sew to the collar. Attach the back to the rest of the collar.
Step 6
Put the result on the dog and mark the armholes for the paws with small pieces of thread. Remove clothing from your pet and sew to the indicated marks. You can quickly knit a sweater for a dog not only with ordinary satin stitch, but also with patterns or multi-colored drawings and inscriptions. Imagine and your pet will be the most stylish in the area!
