Notes

Used Astra doubled so it would match the bulky-weight Reflective. Made up color pattern as I went along, with the Navy as the base, then using the grey and green as the whim hit me.

Added a harness leash welted opening just after front leg holes.

I also only bound off the ‘between the legs’ to start decreases, but then decreased six stitches every two rows until I reached the “outside” of the sleeve length, then decreased two stitches every other row until I reached the width/length minus two inches I desired. I then started the border ribbing.

I used the Reflective on all ribbing, plus a wide band around the chest/belly.

If I had thought about it and charted it, I think I could have managed working in the feather barring pattern in the main band, but I’m not very experienced in stranded colorwork.
