Spring Striped Dog Sweater With Collar

Here goes my second attempt of writing a pattern. I made this sweater for my terrier mix Mason. He is 25 lbs and very barrel chested. He wears a medium. The collar and the little bow tie make it a little fancy. This is going to be his spring/Easter sweater. Adorable!

  1. Oh, my, how cute! Blue is the perfect color for Mason. What are you planning for Independence Day? It needs to have some stars on it. Just don't put one star on Mason's left chest area or it will look like he is "Marshal" Mason. Cute idea though. Hmmmm....Marshal Mason......

  4. For rows 2-16 are you doing a row of increase and then a row of double crochet or are both increase rows?

  5. What size hook and what gauge?

  6. I love the pattern, but usually the pattern includes the size hook needed and the yarn used. Also, what the neck and chest measurements are and it also helps to put how many stitches you should have at the end of the row. You have a very cute doggie and he looks like he saying "do I really need to wear this?" - so cute.

  7. Having problems after row 25, Are the instructions all there, Row 26 do you also go around the row of chains and single crochet. In your picture I do not see where these rows are on your dog, Will stop and wait for further instructions,
