| There are all sorts of free knitted and crocheted dog sweaters for free on the internet. Just google and google and then google more. It will take a while but some will come. I'll check in my pile of free patterns and email to you if you want. I use the knifty knitter. It makes booties, hats and dog sweaters. Though I haven't made the sweaters yet. So let me go off and start searching ok?

| I'm a 'dog coat knitter'..dont knit anything else, but i love making coats for Molly. Ive made her 5 so far,(managed to lose one though) and have just bought the wool to make another! She doesnt need that many as she only wears a coat when it is really cold or if we are out and it starts raining, (she loves jumping in puddles, but hates the rain!) but i cant resist making them. |

| I know how to knit the basic stitches...just have never mastered any type of apparel...but, I would so love to! If anyone wants to share a "really" easy pattern for a novice like me to try, I'd be very appreciative! Also...how about sharing a pic or two of your darlings wearing their hand knit goodies???? I'd love to see them!

I will try with the pics. I have not mastered this yet. They always seem to be too big. Here is one of my Biewer in a Multi Blue Cable. (Not an easy pattern.) | |

| I love to knit! I also crochet, but I enjoy knitting more. I've been wanting to knit some dog sweaters, but I haven't gotten there yet. Here's a couple scarves I made for my mom and sister last Christmas. |

| Those scarves are beautiful. I would love to know where to get the pattern for that lavender one.

I found both patterns off ravelry.com. I love that site! I found the direct link to the lavender scarf pattern. It's called "Asherton Reversible Scarf". It's really pretty, but very easy to knit up. Asherton Reversible Scarf ~ smariek knits | |

| Thank You!!! Yours is prettier than the one shown on the pattern. What kind of yarn did you use??

| Aww, you're too sweet! I'm a fairly new knitter, having crocheted since I was 9 years old (taught by my grandma ), so that is a huge compliment...thank you. Here's the info I have for that particular scarf: Needle: US 8 / 5.0 mm Yarn: Berroco Pure Merino How much? 4 skeins = 368.0 yards (336.5m) Berroco Merino is my favorite yarn to work with, but I found it's not so great with certain patterns. It's quite a stretchy yarn, which works well with scarves since I like to block them to be extra long. I tried it on a hat pattern and it turned out huge. But I guess you could always just go down a couple needle sizes or something to make it work. |

| I knit as well. Grandma taught me when i was a kid, turned out she taught me wrong when I retaught myself recently. Here's Uni in a sweater I knit. It's very easy, 3/4 rectangle on the back, 1/4 rectangle in front, hand sew together, leaving open the arm holes. You decide if you want turtle neck, rib waistband, or whatever. I learned crochet by myself, but I feel it is much slower than knitting.
