Review of Dogs on Jumpers

This hard back book is rather catching with the illustration of a child playing with a dog on the front. The presentation is well thought out and is very detailed.  I particularly like the high glossed photographs of the finished knitted items.

There are 18 different dog designs all can be worked in graphs provided.  There are sizes of graphs for adult sizes and for a child or baby size. Also included are letters of the alphabet which is extremely useful to have.

I like the lay out of the book going through the process of choosing not only which dog to use but what style of jumper.  Then to make it more personalised you can choose if you want contract edges, back ground round the dog, or lettering.  This can make your garment unique.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier - Patterns for this design are: Man's Jumper, Woman's Long/Loose Jumper and Woman's Raglan Jumper

I was very pleased with the technical advice through the book and was easy to follow.  The patterns are varied and are for the whole family.  There is even a pattern for a dog coat!

All in all I think this book is very versatile and good value for money.
