🐾 Calling All Knitters! 🧶
It’s that time of year again, and we need your help to keep our dogs warm and cozy! As summer comes to an end, we’re getting excited for the winter season, and nothing makes us happier than seeing our little doggos dressed up in the beautiful knitted jumpers kindly made by our supporters. ❤️
We are so grateful to everyone who can help in any way, whether by knitting jumpers or supporting our dogs in other ways.
Previously, we were gifted a wonderful jumper knitting pattern from Christa, and we’re delighted to share it so others can make jumpers for our perfect pooches here at Many Tears.
