Measurements: To ensure the perfect fit for your dog, measure the circumference of their chest, neck, and length from the base of the neck to the tail. Use these measurements as a guide to customize the pattern accordingly.

Back Panel:

  1. Cast on the desired number of stitches for the back panel based on your dog’s chest measurement. (For example, cast on 60 stitches for a chest circumference of 12 inches and a gauge of 5 stitches per inch.)
  2. Knit in stockinette stitch until the back panel measures the desired length from the base of the neck to the tail.

Cable Panel:

  1. Determine the number of stitches needed for the cable panel. This can vary based on your dog’s chest measurement and desired cable pattern.
  2. Begin and end each row with a few stitches in stockinette stitch for a smooth edge.
  3. Work the cable pattern of your choice in the center of each row. You can choose a simple cable pattern or a more intricate one.
  4. Continue working the cable panel until it matches the length of the back panel.

Belly Panel:

  1. Measure the distance between the chest and the base of the neck.
  2. Cast on the desired number of stitches for the belly panel based on this measurement. The number of stitches should match the width of the back panel.
  3. Knit in stockinette stitch until the belly panel measures the desired length from the chest to the tail.

Assembly:

  1. Seam the belly panel to the back panel using a mattress stitch or the desired seaming method. Leave openings for the front legs.
  2. Seam the sides of the back panel and belly panel together, leaving openings for the hind legs.
  3. Attach buttons or other closures along the belly panel to secure the coat.
