The Dog Cable Sweater is a sweater knitted with a raglan and cable pattern on the back. It is knitted top-down with German short rows to shape the back and optionally finished with an Italian bind-off.
To choose the correct size for your dog, measure the neck and chest and select the smallest size that fits those measurements, as the sweater is very stretchy and can expand with washing and wear. The back length can be adjusted to fit your dog; try the sweater on as you go. The sweater grows approximately one cable length in length after washing, and the given measurements are after the sweater has been washed and blocked.
