I highly recommend to use a seamstress measuring tape
when you measure your furbaby.
NOTE: DO NOT hold the tape to tight!
If you do not have a seamstress measuring tape, then
take a shoe string or a piece of yard, measure and then mark your spots. Then measure the yarn with a metal tape measure.
Back:
Measure from base of neck to base of tail.
Neck: Measure all the way around
the neck at top of the shoulders.
Chest: Measure girth all the way
around broadest part of chest.
Waist: Measure all the way around
the "wee wee" area
