Calling All Dog Lovers: The Dachshund in the Snow Cardigan for Grown-Ups
Following the adorable success of the children’s Dachshund in the Snow cardigan, it’s time to knit one for all the grown-ups in your life. This charming design is perfect for dog people who appreciate both style and whimsy. (You can find the child size version of this pattern in my shop).
Key Details:
Sizing: The cardigan is sized to fit up to a 158 cm (62 in) chest.
Yarn Weight: Knitted in DK weight yarn, it strikes the right balance between warmth and comfort.
Construction: The cardigan is knitted in the round from the neck down, with a simple intarsia panel for the Dachshund body. The best part? No seaming required!
Finishing Touches: After knitting the body, you’ll create the head, ears, legs, and tail separately, then sew them on. Embroider the snowflakes (using Swiss darning) with the included chart, and voilà—you’ve got a show-stopping cardigan.
Whether you’re making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Dachshund in the Snow cardigan is sure to warm hearts and turn heads. Get ready to wear your love for dogs with pride! 🐾🧶
