I dedicate this pattern to the memory of our little Miniature Dachshund Lena, who was born October 23, 2004 and passed over the Rainbow Bridge on July 26, 2021. She was our joy, our blessing and my knitting muse. Although I originally named my shop to honor my grandmother Lena who taught me to knit when I was 4 years old, I'm rededicating it our sweet and precious little companion. She was ... and will always be ... much loved.

NOTE: THIS PATTERN FITS MOST MEDIUM SIZED DOG BREEDS! As written, the design fits a dog with a chest circumference at its widest point of 15 to 18 inches/38 to 46 cm, if your dog's chest is larger by up to 3 inches/7.6 cm, I will advise you how to modify the pattern to fit YOUR dog! As for length, the pattern includes my advice for adjusting the length.

Yarn: Worsted/Aran/10-ply weight, with a gauge of 4 stitches = 1 inch/2.5 cm on US #8/5.0 mm needles, or size needed to obtain gauge.

Lena reminded me that it’s time for me to design a beautiful new sweater for herself and all the adorable miniature dachshunds out there, so I came up with Lena’s Twisty Columns sweater.

I specialize in easy to knit patterns and this is easy to knit. If you’re a Beginner, I think you’ll be thrilled to see how easy it is for you to look like you’ve been knitting for years!

The Front and Back pieces are knitted flat. I include instructions for knitting the turtle neck collar in-the-round or knitting it flat too.

After knitting the pieces, you’ll seam the sides.

The ribbed sleeves are knit in-the-round. If you don’t want to do that, feel free to simply add a single crochet edging around the armholes.

I’m always eager to help my buyers achieve success. So if you have any questions as you work up the design, please E-mail me at the address listed on the top of the pattern and I’ll reply as soon as I receive your question.

As usual, Lena sends her love to all the other doggies!

While I haven't begun knitting the mini-dachshund sweaters as of yet I'm very anxious to get going on them, along with the headband pattern and the men's winter hat.

Turned out great! It’s always hard to find anything to fit out mini so I really appreciate this. Knits up quickly and easily - good project for an intermediate level knitter
