Bind off the underpiece.
Remove the finished underpiece from your needles by knitting the first 2 stitches. Lift that stitch over so that it's in front of the second stitch. Drop the stitch off the right needle. Finish casting off the final stitch. Continue to knit 1 stitch from the left needle onto the right and then lift the stitch over the stitch in front of it. Keep doing this until you have just 1 stitch left on the left needle.
Cut the yarn to make a 5-inch cm tail. Pull the last stitch on the needle a little to make the hole bigger. Loop the yarn tail through the hole and slide out the knitting needle. Pull the yarn tight to knot it. Thread the large-eyed blunt needle. Pull about inches cm of yarn and thread it through the large-eyed blunt needle. Use the same thread that you used to knit the pieces of the sweater.
Line up the back piece and underpiece. Lay the back and underpiece on top of each other so the right front sides are facing each other. Line up the edges evenly. Sew together the back and underpiece. Insert the large-eyed blunt needle into the narrow side that you cast off.
Sew the sides together and repeat this for the opposite side of the sweater.
To ensure that you leave room for the dog's front legs, keep sewing the pieces together for: Leave an open space for the legs. To keep space for the legs, stop sewing and leave the next several inches open. Sew the remaining length of the sweater on both sides.
To seam the back and underpiece together, finish sewing the pieces until you reach the end.
Tie off the last stitch and cut the thread. Turn the sweater inside out to hide the seams and put it on your dog. Add embellishments, if desired. If you'd like to add buttons or stitch a collar onto this basic dog sweater, determine the look you're going for. Choose decorative buttons to stitch onto the side or underpiece of the sweater. You can also sew felt flowers, pom poms, or small bells onto the sweater. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.
