    Your ornaments are so cute and fun! I find that when knitting small projects, it’s much easier on double pointed needles than circular ones. Last year for Christmas 🎅, I knitted sweaters, boots and hats for my grandchildren’s stuffed animals 🧸. I had fun making them and my grandchildren were quite happy to dress up their toys! I should soon knit one of your dog sweaters for my big dog.

    • @calicoradio_knits
      @calicoradio_knits 13 дней назад

      Hello! My dog is 5.5kg, and I used 95 grams / 190 meters for the size small. I unfortunately don't have yardage amounts for every size, but if you're knitting a size other than the small, I'd recommend checking out the other projects for this pattern on Ravelry. You can see how much yarn others used for their different sized projects. 🙂 ravel.me/portland-raglan-dog-sweater

    • @calicoradio_knits
      @calicoradio_knits 22 дня назад

      Hello! In this case, I'd recommend checking out your yarn's label. Usually the yarn label will list a recommended needle size that will work well with the yarn. Also since scarf dimensions don't have to be too specific, you could also use the yarn label as a jumping off point for figuring out how many stitches you want to cast on. The label will typically tell you how many stitches to cast on in regular stockinette stitch per 10cm/4in. Hope this helps 🙂
