“The One week sleddog sweater” is a button-knit, classic round yoke sweater that you can easily knit in 7 days. It’s also great for beginners!

Hello dear knitters and dog lovers!

I have been honored to create a collection for the Femundløpet in connection with the World Dog Sledding Championships 2025! This collection contains sweaters and small knitwear. I hope you enjoy the collection and that the garments will keep you warm on many adventures in the years to come. In the patterns you can choose what kind of dog you want to wear the sweater, because this is not just a sweater for people with competition dogs, but for everyone who likes to take their dog on a walk. Enjoy knitting!

Most people knit tighter in patterns than they do when knitting solid color stocking stitch. That's why I've included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting patterns. Knitting tension varies from person to person so always knit a sample before you start.
