___________________________________________________________________
Coat:
Knit the coat round from the top and down.
Cast on 52-72-92 sts with double pointed needle size 3 mm in Off white. Knit in Rib for 6-8-10 cm (=

neck). Change to small circular needle size 3.5 mm (sock needle in the smallest size), knit 1 round in
stocking sts at the same time inc. 8-12-16 sts evenly distributed = 60-84-108 sts.
Continue the pattern as follows:
Size XS: M.1, M.3 and M.5
Size S: M.1, M.2, M.3, M.4 and M.5
Size M: M.1, M.2 2 times, M.3, M.4 and M.5 2 times.
At the same time when the piece measures 10-14-18 cm split the piece for the forelegs as follows: Cast off
1 st, put 11-11-23 sts on a thread or a stitch holder (= underneath the stomach), cast off 1 st, and continue
the pattern knitting back and forth on needle over the remaining 47-71-83 sts (= back piece).
When the piece measures a total of 16-22-28 cm (the opening measures approx. 6-8-10 cm) put sts on a
thread or a stitch holder.

Put the sts from underneath the stomach back on needle and knit in pattern as for as long as the back piece.
Put all sts back on the same needle and cast on 1 new st each side in between the top and the bottom piece
(back and underneath the stomach) = 60-84-108 sts. Finish the pattern, and continue with red until finish.

When the piece measures 19-27-35 cm cast off 9-13-17 sts mid underneath the stomach. Then complete
the work knitting back and forth on needle at the same time cast off each side on every other row : 2 sts 12-3 times, 1 st 8-9-10 times, 2 sts 1-2-3 times and 3 sts 1 time = 21-31-41 sts left. The work measures
approx. 27-37-47 cm.

Assembly: Put the remaining sts on a small circular needle size 3 mm and in addition pick up sts around the
casting off edge so the total number of sts = approx. 84-108-140 sts. Knit Rib for 2 -3-3 cm,cast off
loosely.

Leg: Pick up approx 36-44-52 sts with double pointed needle size 3mm and red, around 1 of the openings
of the leg. Knit in Rib for 3-4-6 cm, cast off loosely with K over K and P over P. Repeat for the other opening.
