Description
🎄 Aussie Pet Christmas Knits Vol 2 — 12 original knitting patterns (PDF, 27 pages).
The family Christmas photo is not complete until the dog is wearing a Santa hat and the cat is in a bandana — and pet dress-ups are the gift every pet family actually wants to receive. This whimsical collection from our Aussie family shop gives your dog or cat a hand-knitted Christmas wardrobe of their own: six triangular bandanas, three festive collars and three pet Santa hats, every one dressed as a favourite Aussie animal. Each finished piece is a keepsake you will pull out every December, and a DIY holiday activity that turns one craft night into a whole season of photos.
This collection includes 12 original patterns: Koala Santa Hat, Kangaroo Bandana, Wombat Holly Collar, Quokka Smile Bandana, Bilby Long-Ear Santa Hat, Cockatoo Crest Collar, Kookaburra Stripe Bandana, Platypus Bill Bandana, Echidna Spike Collar, Wallaby Star Bandana, Tassie Devil Santa Hat, and Emu Feather Bandana.
Each of the 12 patterns includes:
• A dedicated photo page
• Pattern-at-a-glance box (skill level, finished size, yarn, needles)
• Full row-by-row and round-by-round instructions with stitch counts on every row and round
• Bandanas on ONE verified flat triangle ladder — cast on 41 (S) / 51 (M) / 61 (L) stitches and shape to the same 3-stitch point; sized purely by repeat count
• Hats and collars on ONE shared ribbed-band ladder family — the 36-stitch hat crown shapes 36 to 30 to 24 to 18 to 12 to 6, and the collar works the same ribbed band unshaped
• A full sizing note: measure your pet's neck first, with S (25-35 cm), M (35-45 cm) and L (45-55 cm) bandana sizes, collar sizes in 6-stitch steps, and one stretchy pet hat size
• Ears, bills, crests, pouches, spikes and patches knitted separately and sewn on last, so every Aussie character sits perfectly
• An honest safety line in every hat and collar pattern: supervise wear, use a loose breakaway fit, and never leave dress-ups on an unattended pet
Knit one for the family photo, knit a matching set for every pet on your street, and gift finished bandanas, collars and hats to every Australia-loving pet family you know. These Aussie animals — koala, kangaroo, wombat, quokka, bilby, cockatoo, kookaburra, platypus, echidna, wallaby, Tasmanian devil and emu — bring a true Aussie Christmas to the tree, the mantel and the holiday album, whether you are celebrating in Australia or carrying a little Aussie Christmas with you anywhere in the world.
Skill level: Confident beginner. DK weight yarn, 3.25 mm straight needles for the flat-worked bandanas and 3.25 mm DPNs for the hats and collars worked in the round.
