Description
🎄 Aussie Pet Christmas Knits Vol 4 — 12 original knitting patterns (PDF, 51 pages).
The dressed-up pet is THE Christmas photo — and a knitted jumper is the outfit that makes it. Jumpers are the pet-gifting trend of the season, and this whimsical collection from our Aussie family shop puts a hand-knitted Christmas jumper on every dog and cat in the family, each one carrying a charted Aussie animal across its back. It is Christmas in Australia, knitted for the smallest members of the family. Knit one for the family photo, knit them as gifts for every pet lover you know, and keep the finished jumper as a keepsake that comes out every December. A joyful DIY holiday activity from the first cast-on to the final photograph.
This collection includes 12 original patterns: Koala Jumper, Kangaroo Jumper, Wombat Jumper, Quokka Jumper, Bilby Jumper, Cockatoo Jumper, Kookaburra Jumper, Platypus Jumper, Echidna Jumper, Wallaby Jumper, Tassie Devil Jumper, and Emu Jumper.
Every pattern includes:
• Its own dedicated solo photo page — twelve different photos for twelve different jumpers
• Pattern-at-a-glance box (skill level, all five sizes, yarn, needles)
• Full round-by-round and row-by-row instructions with stitch counts on every round and row
• ONE sized body ladder used by all twelve jumpers: hem rib, lower body, flat leg-opening panels (back panel and chest panel worked flat, then rejoined), upper body, neck rib — learn it once, knit twelve
• FIVE sizes by chest measurement: XS about 25 cm (CO 56 sts), S about 35 cm (CO 76 sts), M about 45 cm (CO 100 sts), L about 60 cm (CO 132 sts), XL about 75 cm (CO 164 sts) — every count change per size is stated in every pattern, and back lengths run about 20 / 28 / 35 / 45 / 52 cm
• A Measure Your Pet guide in the getting-started pages: measure the chest behind the front legs, choose the size by that measurement, and check for snug-not-tight two-finger ease — dogs and cats wear the same five sizes, and the chest measurement decides
• A charted Aussie-animal motif panel on the back of every jumper (16 stitches x 20 rows, charted in full for duplicate stitch or intarsia): koala in a Santa hat, kangaroo with a joey, wombat with holly, quokka with a bauble, bilby with a star, cockatoo with its yellow crest, kookaburra, platypus, echidna, wallaby with a Christmas tree, Tassie devil, and emu with a tinsel-scarf star band. The chart fits the XS back and stays the same size in every size — centre it, never scale it
• A fit line and a safety line in every pattern: supervise wear, comfortable fit, no dangling parts, remove the jumper if your pet chews it
• DK yarn on 3.25–4 mm needles throughout
These Aussie animals — the much-loved animals of Australia: koala, kangaroo, wombat, quokka, bilby, cockatoo, kookaburra, platypus, echidna, wallaby, Tasmanian devil and emu — bring a true Aussie Christmas to the family photo, the present pile and the Christmas card, whether you are celebrating in Australia or carrying a little Aussie Christmas with you anywhere in the world. Knit the Koala Jumper for the dog, the Quokka Jumper for the cat, and a Wallaby for the pet next door — then line them all up under the tree.
Skill level: Confident beginner. If you can knit in the round, work flat stockinette panels and follow a colour chart, you can knit every jumper in this book.
