Free Pattern: Knit Dog Coat

February 14, 2013 By Tracey 2 Comments

This is my mom’s dog Paco. He is a Portugese Waterdog. He is also a growing puppy‚ always on the move. Being in the only dog in the family‚ and the only baby‚ you can imagine he is a little spoiled. He had to have a brand new handmade knit sweater from his favorite big sister.

    What a great pattern! I don’t have to pull it over her head‚ something she just doesn’t like.
