Doggie coat

[kusine]

The 70s live again. :)

My first more complex project in a long while was a coat for one of my dogs, Kaylee.

I'm mostly happy with how it turned out, but I think I would change the edging next time. However, I'm just happy to have finally gotten it done before it's too warm for her to wear it!

Thanks so much for the kind comments.

I plan to make another one or two of these for auction on eBay for the shar pei rescue group I belong to, Shar Pei Savers (http://www.sharpeisavers.com/), so I may write up the pattern. I'll post it if I do!

And thank you for the kind comments on Kaylee, my rescue brat. She's a little snot, but we only love her more because of it!

very beautiful. that looks like it would definitely be very easy to adapt to different sizes


:rabbit :ducky :sheepjump

oh I love your sharpai,I have always wanted one..
Your doggy coat is so sweet..would that size fit a bitbull?are you able to share the pattern?

[Frangipani]

That's so cute. You'll have the swankiest dog on the block!!!

[Jewels]

Wow!! That is one majorly hip doggy!! I love this coat.:)h

[kusine]

would that size fit a bitbull?

It would probably be a little too small for a pitbull, since Kaylee's small for a pei. However, I know there's some significant size variation in pitbulls, too. But the pattern's very easy to alter - just add or subract squares!

are you able to share the pattern?

I will be happy to do so, but I'd have to write it up first! :) I'll put it on my list to do that in the not too distant future!

Thanks again for all the compliments!
