If you're a keen dog loving knitter you will love this NEW, revised paperback edition of the original Dogs in Jumpers!

It's got 12 of the best patterns from the first book with several for small headed, deep chested, pointy nosed hounds! A couple if you have a Dachshund who demands a stylish jumper and some that will fit small dogs such as the Bedlingtons. Every pattern has a Pawability rating - one paw for easy, three for the more difficult.

I was so happy when the publishers asked me to do a paperback version as it gave me the opportunity to update and correct the few mistakes that were in the first edition. With the help of my Army of Charity Knitters the patterns have been tried and tested and some have been improved to give a better fit.

All patterns now come with more helpful tips about sizing and other suitable yarns - something that I have been asked many times since the first edition came out.

The Patchwork Blanket is a great way to get yourself introduced to some of the knitting techniques that are used for the jumpers and also a good way to use up your stash of wool!!

Since the publication of Dogs in Jumpers in 2015 the patterns have been knitted by many happy dog loving knitters into items that keep their dogs happy, warm and cosy.

At £9.99 it's the perfect gift to yourself or for your keen knitting mother, friend or gran - you don't have to have the skill, most knitters love a project and will enjoy the challenge of a dog jumper.

Since the first book came out I have started our HUGE Charity project - an annual auction of hand knitted jumpers, snoods and blankets - many from patterns in the book -  so far raising over £30,000 for Galgos del Sol, Celia Cross Greyhound Trust, The Greyhound Trust and Just Whippets Rescue. The charity work continues and we hold our auctions on a dedicated Instagram page: @redhoundfundraising - next auction date to be confirmed.

I've got a whippet, is it worth buying this book?

Yes! There are 2 dedicated whippet patterns, but the dachshund ones will fit a puppy whippet too. Bruno's toasty twisted rib jumper has been knitted many times for our auctions, no one ever looks the same.

Can I make these patterns up to sell?

No, that would be breaching our copyright, something the publishers take very seriously. However, we love knitters to knit them up and donate them to their local charity or shelter.

Always have a notebook handy to mark off rows and stitch counts and always knit a tension square!

Measure you dog before you start, this will enable you to adapt the stitch count (for extra girth) or the length as you knit.
