One of the ESK badges is to make something for our pet. I was thinking I’d make this for Speck, because I knew it was going to be a bit big on Rita, but then I figured with Speck’s little short legs, with their socket issues, and his tendency to bite first and ask questions later, I decided to make it for Rita.
The pattern is 4 Cable Dog Sweater. It’s quite simple, easy to follow. I used about 165 yards of Cascade 220.
I went down a needle size for both needles and didn’t change anything else. The neck is a bit long but it turns back just fine.
Rita’s Sweater
She’s such a sweetheart! She doesn’t mind trying on clothes and when I tell her to stay, she’ll be as still as a little church mouse. I love that little dog!

That is definitely Rita’s color! And when the temps get chilly she can just roll the color up over her ears to keep them warm. 🙂
