    Optional Texture: I used scraps of a fine Mohair to add more texture to my CC in dots ONLY. Mohair was not held together with CC in ribbed sections.

Note: The two yarns used in this Dottie are the same weight and fiber content, with the exception of slightly heavier dots as CC is held with Mohair. In other Dottie projects, CC varies in both content and weight. Have fun with your combinations and as always, be sure to swatch to check out your fabric.

Sample Yarn

Salty Dog is held with Magpie Fibers Feather in Natural when Dots are worked ONLY.

Sweater is shown in Size M with approximately 2”/5 cm positive ease on my girl; Hazel weighs approximately 35 lbs/16 kg. Choose the size based on your pet’s weight or measure the dog’s girth choosing the size that is larger than their measurement. Pattern is written for intermediate level knitters already comfortable with stranded colorwork; stitch pattern is both written and charted. Worksheet is included to help with size tweaking for your pup in particular!
