The Birth of the Freya Sky Puppy Dog Sweater Pattern

My knitted circle was contacted to see if anyone would be willing a sweater for a rescue puppy, Frey Sky, that was shivering from the cold. She was so small that nothing available at the stores or online fit her. Being a dog lover, I jumped at the opportunity to help. After acquiring her measurements, I designed and knit her sweater in one night. Freya Sky had the sweater on the next morning.

Thank you to all the people and dogs that helped make this pattern a reality.

Your purchase helps provide sweaters for shelter dogs.
