knitting & recycling to raise funds for dog charities
Lynn's knitted dog coats
Welcome to my new hobby website
(formerly www.lynnsbespokedogcoats.co.uk)
where I sell hand knitted dog coats to raise funds for dog charities.
Ready made or made-to-measure,
any size at 60p/inch length of coat.
All profit donated to small charities.

All photos on the site will open as a full page pop up when clicked and are 'right click copy protected'. Please ask if you wish to use any of them.
Quick buy
For those in a hurry to buy a coat there are just 3 steps:
1 Measure your dog:
required length of coat- along the spine
dog's chest- round the largest part of the ribs
neck- round the base of the neck
All sizes in inches. For guidance and a diagram see 'Before you buy' page.
2 Visit 'Ready to buy coats' pages. All coats displayed are available unless marked sold but only in the size quoted.
3 When you have made your choice use the Contact form to let me know the number of the coat you would like to buy.
From Autumn to Spring, I aim to respond within 24 hours and normally post within 1 day of payment.
If you are unable to find a suitable coat, you may wish to browse the remainder of the site and commission a made to measure coat.
