Urban Granny Dog Sweater
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
6 hdc + 5 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

This pattern worked up very easily, and on the first try looks just like the example! I will definitely be making more of these.
