Sleepy Dogs

Adventures with your four-legged bestie are the absolute greatest way to enjoy the outdoors, from long walks to vigorous climbs. All of that fun can make for tired, chilly dogs upon returning home, however. These stretchy, cozy slippers in three sizes (S/M/L) are just the remedy when you two are ready to put your feet up and relax at the end of the day. Clever short row shaping and unique construction makes for a nice fit; super-simple stitchwork provides the right canvas for even the craziest colorway to play out—a great use for those appealing skeins purchased on impulse.
