If you're as excited as me that there is going to be a fourth Indiana Jones movie, the title of this post will likely make perfect sense to you. Indy always tried to keep the genesis of his nickname under wraps, usually extremely unsuccessfully. But most pooches and their owners want the world to know their names, and a personalized dog sweater would seem a terrific way to make that happen.
It's easy enough to buy a custom sweater with your dog's name emblazoned upon it, but does anyone have any ideas as to the best way to knit one themselves? I wasn't able to find a pattern of the sort – if anyone would like to design one we'd be happy to feature it here on DGK. It's easier said than done, obviously, but a template suited for dogs with names of reasonably short length should be fairly straightforward. There will be no question who knit the sweater when your neighbors see your very own dog's name on it! What does everyone think?
I think monogramed sweaters for dogs would be adorable. Reminds me of “Laverne” wearing the letter “L” on all her sweaters on the show “Laverne and Shirley”. How about doing it in duplicate stitch? Just an idea…
I would be interested in finding out how to do it. I’m making sweaters for my dogs and I’d love to put her initials on it.
