Irish Fisher Dog and Friend Pattern

Surely, your dog is part of the family - so why not knit them an heirloom sweater? The Irish Fisher Dog and Friend pattern is a great introduction to speedy cables while allowing your dog to look dashing in its own version of a traditional cabled Irish Fisherman sweater. The sweater is completed with a matching pair of fingerless mitts, to keep your hands toasty warm while out for a walk or playing in the park. Knit out of bulky yarn, you will be able to knit this dashing set for you and your pooch in no time at all!
