I have wanted to knit something for my labrador for awhile now, but was confused as to properly measure her and the adjust patterns. While this book does not have alot of different patterns, the patterns in here are totally open to creativity and adjustment. The best part of the book was the "how to" when it comes to dogs. My lab is not the full knitted sweater type, but she will use the coats. I had to laugh at the "pillbox" hat and have been threatening to make her the ensemble for next October. This book was definitely worth every penny to me.

I received my knitting book. The instructions are difficult to understand. I make one of the sweaters and I was happy with the fit. I made the neck scarf. After finishing the scarf it is way too large. It fit my German Shepart and not my boxer. I followed the directions perfectly. I am going to make a new one and down size the number of stitches to reduce the size... I think this book is good, but beware of sizes.

Fun book to peruse, and most of the patterns seem doable. I have to admit that I haven't actually knit any of them yet, since like the "cover model" I have 2 golden retrievers who need only "vanity" fashions. I do like the fact that those are included in this book - not just doggie coats for dogs who really do need them. Did I need this book? - no. Have I used this book yet? - no. Would I buy it again? - yep - even if just for the cuteness factor. I gave it 4 stars since I really can't review any of the specific patterns - but if you love dogs and love knitting - it's a go.
