Wow he is soooooo sweet!! I have two guinea pigs but I dont know how they would respond! You should make them for a living they are really good! Do you only have one ginea pig? Mine are called Lilly and Ella and I got them on Boxing day 2008 so they are just over a year old!

The pattern for the sweater is really good!

I would like to make some for my guinea pigs but i don’t know how to do it! Oh well!

Thanks

it is a US size 3 needle. I used a sock yarn, fingering weight

Just a couple of questions. Is that a US size 3 or a 3mm needle. Also, is that a worsted weight yarn. Thanks

I love the guinea pig sweater. I used to breed and show cavies years ago and none of them ever had sweaters though. So cute!!!

Thanks, Jen…

I clearly can see now how you’ve done it. It’s a great pattern actually…certainly a lot less complicated than a number of ’sweaters for pets’ patterns that I came across in my searching. And at this point, when it comes to knitting, I don’t do all that well yet with ‘complicated’.

Again…appreciate your time…

ps: I still can’t believe I’m knitting a sweater for a guinea pig…

the sweater is knit in the round for almost the whole thing. Also it is knit from the neck down. where the arms are you will need to knit back and forth to form the holes for the arms. you should already have your front stitches on the needles so you do not need to pick up the front. Yes, you can do this on four needles, three needles, magic loop, or a really small circular such as a Hiya Hiya 9 inch circular. I can’t remember what I used to be honest, I usually use two circulars until I recently started using the magic loop. Hope this helps. I know the pattern isn’t the best, but again, I am not a professional pattern writer.
