This is the Penny sweater, knit by Maureen J., for her dog, Jack. I've written about the pattern and it's issues before, so e-mail me if you want a corrected copy. The sweater accommodates a lot of dog body shapes due to all the ribbing, but has a garter stitch front panel. Knit flat, and seamed in front to finish. It's sleeveless, so qualifies as a vest for dogs! One thing I've found with sleeveless dog garments--it's harder for them to wiggle out of. Sleeveless is also a good idea for a short legged dog, like a Dachshund or Corgi--they would be stepping on a sweater sleeve. The way this photo is posed cracks me up. Maureen says this is where the best light was. Thanks for the photo!

Adorable. My dad (who is huge) has little Harley who is a 7lb Yorkie. I'm thinking he may need a vest!
Love the pic too! I would love to make one of the vests for my Yorkie, Winston. Could you please send the corrected pattern?
Many thanks!
