From book: Inspired by the classic Icelandic yoke sweater scaled down to canine proportions, this sweater draws its details from traditional designs. It works up quickly, and is appropriate for the intermediate knitter. The fit is somewhat loose, as its human counterpart would be.

The pattern specifies:

Size: S (M, L, XL) to fit chest 14 (16, 22, 26)“ / 35.5 (40.5, 56, 66) cm

Finished size: 26 (21, 28, 31)“ / 40.5 (53.5, 71, 79) cm chest circumference; 12 (16, 21, 23)” / 30.5 (40.5, 53, 58.5) cm length. Sweater shown in the book is a Medium, 21” chest, and is made with Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride worsted weight yarn. The pattern information begins on page 48, and includes four small color graphs for the color work.
