Introducing the Flower Power Pet Sweater pattern! Adorn your fur baby with this groovy sweater or better yet, knit yourself a matching cardi and twin away! The Flower Power Pet Sweater is a fun and fashion forward accessory for any pet. Using a flat construction and the intarsia method of colorwork, this sweater shows off a large flower design using big blocks of color without having floats of stranded colorwork. Sleeveless, with a longer rounded back hem and a shorter hem on the belly, this sweater is incredibly versatile. The flat construction allows for the option to either seam together for a pullover sweater or add eye hooks for a cardigan for pets who don’t like things pulled over their head.
