  1. Sweater is worked from the top down, beginning at the neckband. Neckband is folded lengthwise and chest and back pieces worked from neckband down.
  2. Different breeds and different dogs vary greatly in size. Working from the neck down allows you to try sweater on your dog as you go to check for appropriate length and placement of buttonholes.
