Little Dogs in Pink Sweaters


Happy Pink Saturday and thank you to Beverly from "How Sweet the Sound," for creating Pink Saturday!

This Pink Saturday is about my little Scottie-Poodle, Fiona, who loves to wear sweaters and she knows that she "looks nice in pink."


This is one of my little doggie sweater designs and Fiona is the super model. Yes it's a bunny outfit! The sweater is knit and the tail is needle-felted.

Next is a little pink doggie sweater made from very soft alpaca yarn. Click on her video on the left side bar. Fiona is famous on Youtube.

While knitting this sweater, Fiona would lean on the yarn and take naps next to it. I guess it felt like her real mommy. Actually, the first time I put this sweater on her, she didn't want to take it off.
Have a Happy Pink Saturday!

Noro Yarn and Dog Fashion

Have you tried knitting with Noro Yarn yet? It's the latest "striping" yarn made in Japan. The colors are usually very calming , natural looking, and yummy. The yarn type chosen for this handknit dog sweater is made of 100% wool yarn from Noro, but you can also choose from other blends with silk and wool, mohair and wool, and a few others in different weights. As you knit, it naturally stripes, and ... if you weave it - you get a plaid! I will post a picture of my newest woven shawl very soon. The next time you go to your favorite yarn shop, ask for Noro.

Here is Tinker, a cute Min-Pin (Miniature Pinscher) from Pennsylvania, wearing an extra-small dog sweater from Fiona Couture Designs. The sweater is soft, very light, and keeps her very warm. Tinker is a very good girl and a very fashionable doggie!

To see more Fiona Couture Designs, please visit my Etsy Store. Keep knitting!

Dog Sweaters

Recently I designed a dog sweater pattern for my little Scottie-Poodle - Fiona Xena. She loves to wear clothes. I think most little dogs like to wear clothes. I believe they feel good when everyone fusses over them, wearing their "outfit." Fiona is an internet super model.

I've made a few versions of the sweater pattern, and you can view them on my Etsy store. Here is the latest bunny dog sweater, just in time for Easter and Spring.




Check out my Esty store for more details. Here are two nice dog stores and one is in the Hamptons on Long Island, NY: Muttropolis and Hamptons Hound.

How fun! Remember - keep knitting!
