4.0 out of 5 stars
Good start,
By Aspen Moon (El Paso, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PuppyKnits: 12 QuickKnit Fashions for Your Best Friend (Hardcover)
This is actually one of the better books I have found so far for knitting petwear. All the patterns are basically two different styles- sweaters and something that looks like a cape with a tab on the underneath. The book has patterns that emerge from either of those basic styles. I would recommend some general knitting experience with this book- the stitches range from basic stockinette to cable, but you probably should have some knitting instructions to understand. There's also patterns for a cute hat and scarf/collar. All are very quicknit even if you only have a couple hours. I finished my first one, a sweater, in 3 hours. My second one took about 4 hours because of the smaller needles. The patterns are for small dogs around 18 inches in body length or shorter.

This review is from: PuppyKnits: 12 QuickKnit Fashions for Your Best Friend (Hardcover)
My problem with most dog sweater books is that the sweaters are sooo ugly. In PuppyKnits there are some designs of questionable taste, (and that scarf thing looks painful) but MANY with dignity and class. I love the little cable jacket and the felted coat. I also like that there are 3 basic coat styles, (one that is very good for boy dogs- if you know what I mean) and nothing with sleeves. Personally, I've never seen any dog look good in anything with sleeves.
Eaton seems fixated on one kind of yarn, (manos). Great yarn but she gauges it as worsted and I think its a bulky yarn. I'd use a real worsted instead in the patterns. I did and it worked well.
