News Flash: Since I am not a good knitter, I have teamed up with my dear Grandma Mary who has written and compiled a list of great dog sweater pattners that she has made for her dog, Witchy, as well as given out as gifts!

Not only has Grandma Mary generously offered to share her very own home-made dog sweater knitting patterns with you, but she has also offered her professional services if you need help editing her pattern or others that you might run across here and need some help tackling!

Please enjoy stitching up these patterns, and respect the copyrights of the patterns' authors.
