Thank you for this. Your furbabies are adorable. We got a chihuahua mix in August. She 6 pounds so far so the 22 machine will be perfect for her. She hates the cold. Now I can making her a matching balaclava for her sweaters.

Great Eulalia, so glad you like it. Merry Christmas

[@debpfunder666]

Love this pattern. Would you share with me how to calculate the number of rows and the mattress stitch length on various size dogs? We have a lab and she is quite a bit larger than your beautiful babies. Thank you so much.

[@craftycaz]

I'll try by all means. I work on 5 rows per inch with my macine yarn and tension. So after measuring my dogs head, shoulder around top of the head to the other shoulder gives me the length then multiply by 5 in my case. Width wise for a lab you may need to to 2 tubes and mattress stitch them together.....sorry I don't have a dog that size to practice on (at the moment) lol

[@debpfunder666]

Thank you so much. I'll give it a go.

[@amandamodin4912]

Soooo cute!

[@craftycaz]

Aww thanks Amanda, it is cute glad you agree. Hope someone makes one for their cat, I'd love to see one on a cat. My cat wouldn't let me put on one her....

[@amandamodin4912]

@@craftycaz we are pet less now we’re older & not sure we’ll have another. When our dog Haddy died last year it was very hard she was 13. I too think one on a cat would be precious.

[@craftycaz]

@@amandamodin4912 Sorry for you loss Amanda, it's SO hard when they leave, I know only too well how that feels x I'm hoping someone has a docile cat that will wear one, unfortunately my Dolly cat is a no go lol

@@craftycaz I wish I knew someone from the Dakotas where my husband is from with a kitty it gets so cold there the tips of there ears get frostbite. If I did I make up several. I enjoy our chats but better scoot before I burn my cookies that are in the Esse. Take care love your videos.

My friends are caregivers for their boss's labradoodle and are totally in love him. I'm going to try to make a balaclava for him for Christmas, but I think I'll add floppy ears like his. LOL!

[@craftycaz]

Awww how fantastic, I have a pattern in the pipeline but as usual so much to do and so litle time. I bet it'll turn out fabulous.

Сегодня познакомилась с вашим каналом. Очень полезно. Я совсем не знаю английский язык, но мне всё понятно. Спасибо за вашу работу.

[@kezyaagatha1182]

Hi! I love ur creations!! I have a question tho, can we make the patterns you made on your beanie on a flat panel knit?

[@craftycaz]

Hi Kezya, thanks for the question. Do you mean the dog balaclava? I can see that working out fine, let me know how it turns out if you have a go. All the best Caz

[@kezyaagatha1182]

@@craftycaz Hi Caz, thank you very much for your reply! I meant the patterns you showed in your previous videos such as lattice work, diamond daisy, chevron chic etc. can these patterns be made in a flat panel? my final school work is to make a blanket with different knitting techniques and patterns and I have a lot of trouble trying to do these patterns in flat panel. if you maybe have some time, do you mind sharing a tutorial how to make different patterns in panel setting from sentro machine, thank you so much!

[@craftycaz]

@@kezyaagatha1182 Most of these are designed to work in the round so will need to be mapped out again for flat panel. I think you'd have a good chance with Trailing Ivy and Diamond Daisy as they are linear patterns, but not having tried it myself as yet I couldn't guarantee anything. You can do a blanket from tubes by mattress stitching them together. Many tutorials on YT for those Calumet Knits being excellent as is The Addi Queen. I will get around to doing them in flat panel at some point but time is my enemy I'm afraid. Hope this helps in some small way. Good luck with your project. Caz

[@tinabebee4986]

Do you think this could be adapted for people??

[@craftycaz]

I def think it could yes. I'm hoping to do a video soon, but as usual time is my enemy. Let me know if you have a go

[@tinabebee4986]

I found a pattern for one which has to be attached together. If you come up with one piece that would be exciting

[@taranoel7990]

Hi Caz.. this is adorable! QUESTION 4 YOU... Is there a chance of you creating a BERET for the Addi 46 ?? I think they would be a hit 😀 Thank you for your videos and consideration of my question 🙃❣

[@craftycaz]

Thanks Tara and for the interesting question. Do you mean a beret for a human head or dog? EIther way I'll def give it some thought and if I come up with anything I'll do a video. All the best Caz

[@cassieporter9262]

I've been searching for a beret CKM pattern for my sister for Christmas and have come up short.

My dog would never allow me to put this on her head or she probably wouldn’t know I was doing it but then when I went to take it off she probably try to eat me alive lol but this is cute

i share it

Do I have your permission to sell this? I will give you credit as the designer on my tags with your instagram handle

Absolutely Emma go ahead. Maybe if it's lucrative you could give a little something to a local animal rescue one day. Many thanks and I wish you many sales
