Jennifer knit this sweater for her friend’s dog, Sherman. The pattern is from Bernat and she used Berroco Comfort yarn. Comfort is a blend of super fine acrylic and super fine nylon, which can be machine washed and dried. Obviously, a good choice for Sherman. But Comfort is a good basic yarn for any project that will require regular cleaning. And because it contains no animal fibers, it’s great when knitting for your vegan friends.
Jennifer had to modify her pattern to fit Sherman, which she did beautifully. And she added the Union Jack on the back. Very cool.
It’s fun to knit your dog a sweater. You can express they’re personality and style, and keep them warm when the temperature drops. One of my favorite sources for dog sweaters is Dogs in Knits
We don’t often receive pictures of dog sweaters – or any knits for pets, for that matter – so thank you, Jennifer! Sherman looks fantastic in his sweater!

what a good dog to sit still long enough to take these sweet photos! Sherman is a very good dog!
Thank you! Sherman works very hard on his training.
ADORABLE! Sherman is just GORGEOUS, and the sweater is very dashing! Sherman looks like he’s quite oblivious to his good looks! Vanessa x
