HEARTSHAKER DOG SWEATER

This sweater is knit top down, in the round, with the armhole placement knit in scrap yarn. The body continues in the round to the tummy shaping, where it is knit flat until the trim is again knit in the round. Once the sweater is knit, the armholes are added in seamlessly, similarly to an afterthought heel on a sock.

There are 7 linked video tutorials included to help you along the way.
