This sweater is worked bottom up. First, the Back is worked in a 3-stitch eyelet mock cable and knit below stitch, then the Underbelly is knitted. Next, you will add all stitches onto one needle and the Collar will be worked. Then you will be stitching together the Underbelly part of the sweater to the Back, leaving a gap where the dog’s legs will go. The rib and the Collar are worked in a half-twisted rib pattern - the knit stitches are twisted on the RS rows and the purl stitches are twisted on the WS rows.

Yarn: any double knitting.
