As a beginner you may want to take projects that are simple enough for your skill, but challenging enough to make you feel a sense of satisfaction when you finish knitting your project. You can challenge yourself by deciding to knit something that will eventually be a gift for a loved one. That will motivate you to make sure you finish the project. Some great knitting projects include scarves, hats, mittens, socks, cell phone covers, baby blankets among other things.

If you are a beginner who has just learnt to knit, you should probably work on your knitting skills a little before you start working on more elaborate projects. Avoid projects with complicated patterns until you become adept at knitting. Beginners should try different types of needles. Thicker needles are usually better because you do not have to stitch afterwards. Thicker yarn is also preferred by some for the same reason. The following is a review of websites that have great knitting projects for beginners.

Dog Clothes Patterns

While some people may think doggie outfits are a waste of the material they’re made with, there are still other folks that just can’t get enough when it comes to pooch clothes. We all have friends or relatives that simply must dress up little Fido for each and every holiday. These pets, of course, don’t know the difference and may feel like their owners’ fashion slaves. But that won’t stop these dog outfitters, oh no.

For those that are fully in support of catwalk dogs, so to speak, it’s a lot less expensive to make clothes than to buy stuff off the rack. Therefore, let’s take a look at a selection of outfit patterns, fit for seamstress-friendly pet owners.

One fleece sweater design, linked at the end of this paragraph, is primarily aimed at medium-sized dogs. In fact, the pattern provided is specifically for a 40 lb short-haired female mixed breed. It’s a stretchy, tube-type outfit that even has a mock turtleneck.  The pattern on the page is clear and detailed, and even includes links to other outfits that names the intended dog breeds. http://www.barlowscientific.com/technotes/home/sweater.htm

A site called Domestik Goddess — which has the header line, ‘So you wanabee a Domestik Goddess?’ –has a nice, simple pattern for sewing doggie winter boots. Our web canine outfitter even attempts to be practical with the suggestion that dog boots are a necessity in the darkest pit of the Canadian winter. Well, maybe. Anyhow, the pattern is simple and easy to understand, and may well make a domestic goddess out of even the most undomesticated woman. http://domestikgoddess.com/sew-your-own-winter-dog-boots/

Dog-lovers-only might have trouble with one particular Crochetmore.com sweater crochet pattern page, as it also includes instructions on how to create cat sweaters. Although the picture of her dog Schotzi is cute, as is Basil the cat that is pictured courtesy of someone named Iris, this page is not the best one because it doesn’t include a diagram as well as written instructions. Many people are visually-oriented, and without a picture of the diagram itself, this may be a difficult sweater to crochet. http://www.crochetnmore.com/dogsweater.htm

The dog sweater for Doggoneknit.com also falls short in that it excludes a diagram. However, the instructions are more detailed than many of the other sites, which just about makes up for the visual aspect it lacks. The site also includes a link to a Fitting Room, which is a great help when it comes to knowing “how to measure your pooch.” http://www.doggoneknit.com/patterns/knitting/cableknitgreyhound.html

If you’re looking for a clothing site with an Australian accent, look no further than Lowchenaustralia.com, which includes instructions on both a knitted dog jacket and a polo neck knitted coat – the latter, presumably for preppie dogs. Although the site loses points for picturing a dog with the word “dog” on its sweater back (Isn’t that already obvious?), the patterns are rich with detail and helpful. http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/diy/jacket.htm

Of course, just because you can dress up your dog the way little girls do up their Barbies, doesn’t mean you should. However, if your heart is set on making clothes to keep your dog in style, you now have a few good tools to do so.
