Dog Poncho

Here is a little poncho that I made for my stuffed animal dog Muffin. It was really fun to make, and easy too. If the stuffed animal you are making it for is smaller, don't cast on as many stiches, don't knit the rectangle as long as you would, or use a thinner yarn. If the stuffed animal is bigger, then do the opposite.


To make the poncho you should use some bulky wool yarn on about a US 10 needle. All you do is cast on 20 stitches. Then, knit in garter stitch until the rectangle is about 11 inches long. Then you cast off.

Next, weave in the ends. Fold the long side over about 1 1/4 inches. Then, sew it together just like that.

My young daughter is very new to knitting and will really love doing this simple, yet pretty project for her own "pet" dog. Thanks for sharing :)
