The best book I've found for knitting dog sweaters. The author includes the important information of how to measure your dog and where it's best to make changes in length and width for the best fit. The sweater designs range from a basic pullover to a frilly party dress, cable to Fair Isle, and there is even one crochet sweater. There are a couple patterns for accessories (blanket, pillow, Christmas stocking) and recipes for dog treats and anti-flea remedies.
