Dottie Dog Sweater

Description

This sweater is part of the Dottie set with the Dottie Scrunchie. Available individually or as a bundle.

This pattern includes step by step video tutorials for two colour stranded colourwork and steeking armholes. 

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or new to the craft, Dottie is your gateway to mastering steeking, plus, we’re here to support you every step of the way with pattern assistance whenever you need it.

This sweater is knit top down, in the round, with some simple stranded colourwork. The armholes, and optional harness hole, are steeked in last. Cutting into your finished knitting is a little…unsettling to say the least, but not as daunting as you may think.

Linked video tutorials of the steeking process are included and will help anyone who is a little nervous about this part of the pattern.
