Your four-legged friends will look adorable in these paw-fect outfits!

The "Sean Connery"
Models: Ashley Lenat (script supervisor) and Polo (peekapoo)

• Ollie wore a polo neck inspired by Sean Connery in early "James Bond" movies.
• Timelessly elegant; also stylish on girl dogs, like a pair of "boyfriend-jeans."
• Simple to knit; shown here in tweed, which adds textural interest.
• All you need to make this outfit is tweed yarn.
• It's a fairly basic design, perfect even for beginner knitters.

Puppy Papoose
Models: Allie Wyman (intern) and Lola (yorkshire terrier)

• Perfect for carrying tiny dogs.
• Makes your dog feel warm and secure and is knitted with the softest wool.
• Pattern comes from Sally Muir's grandmother -- she used it to knit for World War II troops.
• Perfect for an intermediate knitter: Rosebud pattern adds complexity.
• Lined with mattress ticking, for extra support.
• To make this project, you'll need soft mohair-mixed yarn and satin fabric for lining straps.

Soccer Sweater
Models: Kim Miller (supervising field producer) and Ollie (golden doodle)

• The sporty look.
• Designed in Manchester United colors; inspired by David Beckham.
• Can be made in your favorite team's colors.
• Fairly simple to knit
• It's in double-knitting, which is very easy to get a hold of; can be made in your own team's colors with any number you like.
• Your dog will feel properly dressed as he chases a ball around the park -- perhaps he could get some friends together for a match.
• This could be made by a beginner knitter, but you'll need to know how to make numbers.

Anti-Firework Dog Balaclava
Models: Aaron and Buddha (pug)

• Possibly the most practical design.
• Will protect your dog's sensitive ears.
• Easy to make.
• Designed in a soft mohair mix, with Princess Leia-style earmuffs for extra protection.
