Knitted dog coat

teddysmum

I am posting this in two places as people don't use all areas of the forums.


I knit items, for an animal charity fundraising site, using donated yarns, but having been asked about a simple design, now find that both patterns I had in mind have been withdrawn from the internet.


Both patterns were for smallish dogs and consisted of two pieces which you sew together. One was called Linus' sweater and the other pattern was similar, but suggesting you use your own stitch option.


Three are still lots of internet references, but they just lead you in circles with no pattern instructions.


Has anyone, by any chance , copied down the instructions and could let me have them , please ?

the pattern is a Russian site

You can get an English translation by clicking on the options tab on the right hand side.

While not a good translation you may be able to work out what it should be

I think the person copied it from an original UK or US version, but that is not the pattern. The pattern gave number of stitches etc , then 'how to' part was added.


Ravelry says that the original pattern source has been removed and the same with the other (actually better pattern). It's a pity as the coat was a good fit and was short enough underneath to allow boy dogs not to wet the yarn.

Is this what you are looking for (using the wayback machine to find it):

web.archive.org/ link.

Found via a knitting forum, if the above link doesn't take you to it, go to the wayback machine (https://web.archive.org), and put the following link into the search box - http://www.knitandbake.com/2012/01/21/linus-sweater-easy-dog-sweater-knitting-pattern/
Then click on 2012 and pick one of the dates from then when the site was still online.

I must apologise as this is actually the pattern, but the shorter version of it.

Eureka. I wanted the pattern for a lovely lady who adopts mainly old or sick small dogs from rescues. She is good at crochet, but wants to try knitting as two of her littlies are cresties, so need coats all year round.


Now to see if I can find details of the other pattern and trace it back.

The other pattern came from a site called talkingtails.com, but I've tried it (lots of hits listed) on the archive site and just get buffering.

Glad that's worked, especially since its for such a good cause :-)

For the other pattern, try this link

Again, if it doesn't work, put the following url into the search box on wayback machine: http://www.talkingtails.com/sweater.html

(Edited to add, that working snapshot is from March 2012)

Thank you so much. I think my computer is showing its age as it's had a few holdups, recently.


This pattern is so easily adapted for long thin or short chunky dogs and does allow for boys' 'rude bits'.
