Flower Power Pet Sweater Pattern
$10.00
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.

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
