Lately, our dog Linus has been shivering in this cold New York City weather, so Idecided to knit my little buddy a sweater! Here’s the pattern I came up with,using TalkingTails as a general starting point. It’s a really easy pattern — if you canknit, purl, and knit two together, you’ll have no problem!

4. Switch to the light blue color. Work garter stitch for the first and last 4 stiches. Forthe middle of the rows, use stockinette stitch (knit all stitches on one row, purl allstitches on the next row, and keep repeating).
[ To write it out explicitly:
Row A: k46
Row B: k4, p38, k4 ]
5. Continue in this pattern for 8 rows. Then switch back to navy blue and continue inthe same pattern for 8 more rows. Continue your stripes like this until there are 3 navyblue stripes, and 3 light blue stripes.

6. After you have 6 complete stripes, switch your work back to the smaller 6US needles.Again, work in ribbing (k2, p2) for 8 rows. Bind off.
7. Next, you’ll start knitting the underbelly of the sweater. Cast on 18 stitches in thenavy blue yarn on your larger size 7US needles. Work garter stitch for 3 rows, then workin stockinette stitch for the next 5 rows, making sure to work garter stitch in the firstand last two stitches of each row, creating a garter stitch border.

8. You’ll need to decrease this section of the sweater. In the next stripe, using the lightblue yarn, work in the same pattern as before (garter stitch in first and last two stitches,with stockinette in between). When you get to the 5th row, knit together the first twostitches, and knit together the last two stitches of the row. Complete the stripe asnormal with 3 more rows. Each stripe should be 8 rows tall.
Repeat this with the next two rows (decreasing in the 5th of 8 rows), with a total of 3decreases.
When you have 2 rows of navy blue and 2 rows of light blue, switch work back to thesmaller size 6US needle, and finish off the piece with 8 rows of ribbing (k2, p2).
9. Using a darning needle, sew the underbelly part of the sweater to the top, leaving agap where the pup’s arms will go. In this sweater, you’ll sew together the first twostripes, then leave a gap for the next two stripes, and then sew the last stripe.
