Mine fits my dog more snugly as he would shake anything off, and I wanted it to fit under his coat for those super cold Chicago nights. I also added four cables to the back to spice it up a little. I also eliminated the sleeves. But use the other ink to compare, or use hers if you prefer it!
Also, because it's very easy to make fun of animals in clothes, let me just say I am not usually a supporter. But our pit bull has very thin fur and will shiver and get difficult after less than two blocks on really cold days. This pattern is great in that it covers his belly and neck. It does the double duty of keeping him warmer and making it harder for him to shake it off. And he really doesn't mind wearing it! If you're wondering how to get it on- I put his legs in first then swoop it over his head. Fortunately he's smart enough to catch of that he'd rather deal with it than be cold.
I used what are probably 16" size 8 circular knitting needles, and what I think was Impeccable yarn? It's a thicker worsted so it actually came out to be a pretty dense little knit.
