I couldn’t resist creating this sweater for my guinea pig… not that he really needs one!

Supplies:

Size 3 16 in. circulars

Pattern:

Cast on 88 sts.
k2, p2, rib for 2 in.
Separate sts. for front (40 sts.) and back (48 sts.).

Back:

Row 1: k2, p2 inc. (kfb) every 3rd st.
(62 sts. total)
Row 2: p6, k2 (wrong side) to end of row.
Row 3: (right side) k6, p2 to end of row.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 for 1.5 in.
Place sts. on waste yarn

Front:

Pick up other 40 sts.
Row 1: k2, p2 inc. (kfb) every 3rd st.
(52 sts. total)
Row 2: p6, k2 (wrong side) to end of row.
Row 3: (right side) k6, p2 to end of row.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 for 1.5 in.

Pick up back stitches and knit in round k6, p2 for 5 in.
Bind off all sts.
Weave in ends and turn down neck.
