This pattern is semi-contoured with hip darts and has one or two front closures, a single surcingle, and leg straps. Also included is a pattern for an insulated, adjustable size foal blanket, with hoop-and-loop tape front closure. And your dog won't be left out with a two-layer blanket with bias surcingles and closed front.
Equine Sizes 24-60 and Dog Sizes XS-XXL
FABRICS AND NOTIONS
Sheets can be made from cotton duck, other cotton and cotton blend fabrics, and heavyweight outerwear nylon such as packcloth or Cordura™. For cool-down and anti-sweat sheets use terrycloth and cotton or cotton blend mesh. For dress sheets use washable wool and wool blends. For single layer blankets use blanket weight fabrics, old blankets, coat weight wool, and pre-quilted and pre-lined fabrics. For two layer blankets use heavyweight nylon or cotton-type fabrics for the outer layer and fleece or blanket-type materials for the inner layer. For insulated blankets use heavyweight outerwear nylon for the outer layer, insulation such as needlepunch for the middle, and ripstop nylon for the lining. For straps use nylon or polypropylene webbing. Seat belting also works well for surcingles. For binding edges use nylon foldover braid or other bias bindings. Surcingle buckles are used for surcingle straps. Regular buckles are generally used for front straps. Any type of buckle can be used as long as they are strong enough
FITTING
Fitting instructions and charts are given in the pattern instructions, but to get an estimate of materials needed, the sizes correspond to standard blanket sizes measured from the middle of the animal’s chest around to the tail.
