How long does it take to make a simple chi sweater on the machine? I'm tired of the ones I"ve been seeing at petsmart and on ebay. I don't want my dog in bright pink or something with a bunch of crazy colors.
I have a knitting machine and I have converted human sweater patterns to work on the machine.
If anyone has a real simple Chi size knit sweater pattern, I would certainly try to convert it to the
machine......... You can not knit in the round on the machine I have tho, so any pattern would have
to have at least one seam in it.

I do crochet a lot and had tried something simular only with regular
yarn and was not happy with it. Will get some baby yarn. I think
that's a great idea.
Thanks

you crochet? I made the chain starting at the belly area long enough
to go around his middle with a little bit to lap over. I used baby
yarn and an F hook and crocheted hdcs even until the piece covered
what I wanted it to of the body up to the front legs. When you get to
the front leg part you will need to measure the size across the back
that goes from front leg to front leg. (I slip stitched about 13 sts
and then continued in hdc for the number to go across the back,
leaving the end 13 sts un crocheted. You then go back and forth in hdc
until the piece is to the neck area. When you get to the neck go
across the row and then ch however many it takes to go around the neck
with some lapping over. I then did 3 more rows of hdc. I put small
snaps (3) on the underside belly area and one small snap to fasten the
neck area. I do have lots of crochet dog sweater patterns, just none
this small. Hope this makes sense. If you need any help let me know.
