I knit this for a small dog who is built like a rectangular box. The cast on to the body was a challenge as the pattern called for co 30 Stitches, then increase 2 stitches every row for like 20 + rows. I don’t like the way the taper came out, as it is rather sloppy. I tried to use single crochet, and it stopped the curl from such frequent increasing, but the resultant edge was still sloppy. Then I had an epiphany: Work the pattern backwards. Start with a cast on just under the arms, using an open cast on, then work decreases to the tapered piece that sits on dogs rump. Then I could hang the open stitches and continue to the arm holes. I will post a pic of the new way I knitted this pattern when I’m done knitting it, but so far the tapered edge is much much neater. UPDATE; The blue sweater with the ribbed edges( rainbow stripes) is the dog sweater I knitted by open cast on at body section(section A), and decreasing to the tail(Z) section. This worked much, much better, with a neat edge. Because I used a full fashioned decrease, Ihad an edge stitch to pick up and knit the ribbed edge.
Need Help?
