Another attempt at a coat for an odd shaped wee dog
Our wee dog is quite elderly, but still enjoys a good walk. This means she needs outwear. The search for something that is actually warm and fits has been a challenge. We purchased different items only to be very disappointed at the quality and fit. I tried making several as well, using existing patterns as a guide. The first couple were made of wool, so they were warmer, but the design didn't suit her anatomy. Even the best version I came up with stretched. The longer section never stayed in place, eventually got walked on, and somedays it ended up as a kilt around her waist. (But can I say she really rocked the look?) After Christmas I was determined to make something better. I was inspired by the shape of a dog coat by DROPS Design 102-40 . Since I had worsted weight yarn in my stash and an odd shaped wee girl to fit, I opted to make mine an improv project. If you fancy a sized pattern, sized for common breeds, I recommend you check it ...
