My parents wanted me to make their shih tzu, Holly, a dog sweater. Knit from Simply Soft, and a dog sweater pattern book called "Knitting for Dogs" (also has a dog poncho and leg warmers). It's the first pattern in the book, I think it's called "The Everyday Pullover".
She just got groomed today, so she has a St Patrick's Day bow in her little puppy hair. She's SO cute.
The other thing I made was a bonnet from Erica Knight's Knitting for Two. A friend wanted one for her daughter, so using some Debbie Bliss Wool Cotton I got from a knitting friend, I made this:
Although I love my sheep model, it doesn't do the trick like the real life model does:
Isn't she a beauty?
I *love* the real life model in her bonnet!!!

Love the doggie sweater. I crochet and when I had my sweet little doggies made them sweaters also - I never saw a pattern for leg warms or I would have made them.
Your live model is so cute and the hat is cute too.
