*No Cats were harmed in the making of this dog coat pattern but one was slightly ‘put out’.*

This is the Knitting Pattern for a Dog Coat worked in pom pom yarn ‘Jester’ by Designer Yarns.
Knit from the ‘Top’ down, it has a ribbed belly so that it will adjust to fit even the greediest dog. (All you golden retrievers out there you know I’m talking about you - but don’t worry it doesn’t come in your size)

If you can’t get hold of the Jester yarn (it is available from my online shop - www.lupinandrose.co.uk) you can work it in any DK weight yarn and attach pom poms later.

To substitute: Use any yarn with a standard DK tension of 22 sts and 28 rows to 10cm square – worked on no 4 mm (US 6) needles. If you are unable to find the Jester yarn use any plain yarn and make multicoloured pom poms to decorate the coat.

Thanks for looking!
