Taught by Wendy Bernard
Wendy shows knitters a quick and easy way to whip up a personalized sweater for your dog using two knitted rectangles. Using nothing more than your dog’s measurements and a gauge swatch, you’ll do a little math and then start casting on. This class is a perfect stash-buster — simply use yarns in a similar gauge to make a fun, striped motif. The sweater can be customized for any size dog by adjusting the number of cast on stitches and the quantity of yarn.
Learn how to:
- Take your dog’s measurements
- Write a customized pattern
- Knit the sweater pieces
- Seam the sweater with mattress stitch
- Pick up stitches and work collar
- Detailed class by expert knitwear designer Wendy Bernard on making a cozy knitted dog sweater
- 5 HD video lessons you can access online anytime, anywhere
- Step-by-step instruction and a detailed supply list
- The ability to leave comments, ask questions and interact with other students
