How Do You Knit A Dog Harness?

With the right yarn and hardware you can make a chic, hand-crafted harness your pup will proudly wear at home, on walks and at the dog park. Take your dog’s measurements. Measure around his chest behind the shoulder blades, measure across his back from shoulder blade front to shoulder blade front, measure across his neck, starting behind one shoulder blade and ending behind the other shoulder blade and finally, measure the distance between the front of his shoulder blade and directly behind it.
