Description
🐾 Aussie Pet Crochet Vol 1 — 12 original crochet patterns (PDF, 43 pages).
A well-dressed pet is a happy household — and a crocheted jumper with an Aussie animal across its back is the outfit that makes every photo. This year-round collection from our Aussie family shop puts a classic crochet pet jumper on every dog and cat in the family, each one carrying a much-loved animal of Australia on its back: tapestry-crochet colourwork on some, a sewn-on appliqué motif on others, and every pattern tells you honestly which. Crochet one for your own pet, crochet them as gifts for every pet lover you know, and enjoy the making as much as the wearing.
This collection includes 12 original patterns: Koala Jumper, Kangaroo Jumper, Wombat Jumper, Quokka Jumper, Platypus Jumper, Echidna Jumper, Kookaburra Jumper, Cockatoo Jumper, Wallaby Jumper, Bilby Jumper, Tasmanian Devil Jumper and Emu Jumper.
Each of the 12 patterns includes:
• A dedicated photo page showing a pet wearing that jumper
• Pattern-at-a-glance box (type, all five sizes, pieces, yarn, level)
• Full round-by-round and row-by-row instructions in US crochet terms, with the stitch count stated at the end of every round and row
• ONE sized body ladder used by all twelve jumpers: hem, lower body, flat leg-opening panels (back panel and chest panel worked flat, then rejoined), upper body, neck — learn it once, crochet twelve
• FIVE sizes by chest measurement: XS about 25 cm (40 sts), S about 35 cm (56 sts), M about 45 cm (72 sts), L about 60 cm (96 sts), XL about 75 cm (120 sts) — every count 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
• One Aussie-animal motif on the back of every jumper, its technique stated honestly in its pattern: a tapestry crochet colourwork chart panel (20 sts x 16 rows, the same size in every size — centre it, never scale it) or an appliqué motif crocheted separately and sewn on
• A fit line and a safety line in every pattern: supervise wear, comfortable two-finger ease, no dangling parts, remove the jumper if your pet chews it
• DK yarn and a 4 mm hook throughout, at 16 hdc x 11 rows = 10 cm
These Aussie animals — koala, kangaroo, wombat, quokka, platypus, echidna, kookaburra, cockatoo, wallaby, bilby, Tasmanian devil and emu, the best-loved animals of Australia — bring a true Aussie touch to the family photo, the present pile and everyday cosy wear, whether you are in Australia or carrying a little Aussie warmth with you anywhere in the world. Crochet the Koala Jumper for the dog, the Quokka Jumper for the cat, and a Wallaby for the pet next door.
Skill level: Confident beginner. If you can work half double crochet in rounds, work flat panels and follow counted instructions, you can crochet every jumper in this book.
