Fabulous dachshund sweater, the dog even wraps around your back!

Sweater is worked flat, the colourwork is made using intarsia. The dog is charted and the instructions are clear where to start knitting the dog.

Sadly the pattern only comes in one size, but I believe in you and your skills to resize! Maybe use the chart and knit in into an basic seamed drop down sweater? Size up or down needles or make the dog a bit longer or shorter! You’ve got this!
