Gussets

My sister was having a hard time understanding how the gussets for the bull dog sweater worked, so I decided to put up a couple of pictures. Here is the sweater lying on the kitchen table.

You can see that the sleeve sticks straight up instead of pointing out to the side. The gusset is highlighted in a pinkish color and is a diamond under the arm. The next image is a closer view of the gusset (this time highlighted in white). Click on images to enlarge.

I didn't know if this will give the dog greater maneuverability in the underarm, but I decided to see if it would help. My husband laughed at the fact that I put "racing stripes" on our dog's sweater.
