Stylish Knits for Dogs: 36 Projects to Knit in a Weekend [Paperback]

Ilene Hochberg (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2006

Women-and men-of all ages are learning how to knit. Knitters, especially the new ones, enjoy easy-to-make projects that can be completed in a short time. Pets are equally popular in our modern society. Pet owners who often indulge their animals with special treats and accessories will like these easy and quick-to-make designer-quality dog sweaters. These projects can be completed in a weekend, an evening, while watching television, or during an airport layover. They are simple enough to be a first knitting project for a beginning knitter. Design variations and embellishments add the personal touch, and can make each design a more challenging project for an experience knitter.

Additionally, the small size of the projects in this book makes them ideal to tuck into a purse or tote bag, so that they can be worked on at odd moments during the day when the knitter finds a few free moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice dog knitting book., March 4, 2006

This review is from: Stylish Knits for Dogs: 36 Projects to Knit in a Weekend (Paperback)

I just got this book in the mail today, and I can't wait to try a few patterns. Most of the patterns are for dog sweaters, but there are a few other nice things to knit, too. I would call myself an average knitter (I've been knitting for a long time, but I usually don't bother with very intricate or complicated knitting), and this book looks great for me. Other dog knitting books I have looked at have sweaters that look too complicated to be bothered with. That or they're making more dog patterns now that are too cutesy. This book has projects that are attractive, for the most part gender-neutral, and could be done in a weekend. If you're looking to knit something special for your four-legged best friend, I recommend this book.

This book is great! I have never made a sweater before. And totally understood the patterns and had excellent results for my little grandpuppy. Highly recommend this book. It's great fun.
