Women-and men-of all ages are learning how to knit. Knitters, especially the new ones, enjoy easy-to-make projects that can be completed in a short time. Pets are equally popular in our modern society. Pet owners who often indulge their animals with special treats and accessories will like these easy and quick-to-make designer-quality dog sweaters. These projects can be completed in a weekend, an evening, while watching television, or during an airport layover. They are simple enough to be a first knitting project for a beginning knitter. Design variations and embellishments add the personal touch, and can make each design a more challenging project for an experience knitter.
Additionally, the small size of the projects in this book makes them ideal to tuck into a purse or tote bag, so that they can be worked on at odd moments during the day when the knitter finds a few free moments.

I did the Irish sweater for my friend's dog since the friend just got a sweater for himself. I was able to copy the knit pattern and apply it to another sweater so it would be a better match for the friend. This book has a good selection of different choices. Think it's one of the best of its kind on the market.

I wanted to knit the green cable knit sweater in the picture on the front of the book, but the pattern created something totally different. I was very disappointed. On the publisher's website they have corrections for 3 patterns from this book. I have not tried the correction patterns, so I cannot attest to their accuracy. Don't waste your money on this poorly written pattern book!

I purchased this book last year. I knitted one pattern and the size of it would have fitted a snake perfectly but not a dog. I then examined some of the other patterns and found the pattern was not the same as the picture. i.e. the cable patterns were totally incorrect. I gave up then. I have since thrown the book out, something I never do. Waste of money.

this book is not worth the $15 plus shipping i paid. the patterns are not well written at all. i appreciate the fact that the author is a long time knitter of pet knitwewar, but what i don't understand is why these patterns in particular were allowed to be published. don't they have focus groups where knitters come in to test out the patterns - - and this shouldn't include knitting friends of the author. if you want to knit for your pet, try another book.

This book of sweaters to knit for dogs has many cute ideas, and generally,
the sweaters fit true to size. The only problems is that the directions are not absolutely clear, and do not advise the knitter about the finer
points of knitting or finishing. A beginner needs more direction in order
to end up with a finely knit finished product.
