GAUGE:
6 hdc + 5 rows = 4 in. [10 cm]. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Striped Dog Sweater Reviewed by Laura Nordquist on 2009-10-28
I made this for my brothers dog about 3 years ago. She is a short-haired dog and wears it outside all the time. The pattern is easy to follow and the yarn is great! Lots of colors to choose from too.
