It was a pattern I found on the internet. Just cast on 40 and work in a rib stitch for about 1 inch for the collar, continue in a garter stitch for as long as you want it to go, then work in a rib stitch for the last two inches. For the tummy section, cast on 3, increase 1 every row until you get to the width that fits between your dogs front legs and work in a garter stitch until you reach the length of the first piece. Add a 2 inch rib stitch. Take the first piece, right sides together and whip stitch the collar. Add the small end of the tummy section right beneath the collar and whip stitch each side, leaving a hole for the front legs. For the "fur" look I added a string of fun fur just for the collar and the border. |
