Yes, you could do this on straight needles but you would have to do the math there depending on where you wanted the seem to be and also if you wanted one seem versus two seems. My piggies have always been super calm and also have been very patient when it came to handling. I only had him wear it to vet appointments or any outings in the cold weather. When he was younger he came to knit with us at the yarn shop.

Hi, I found this pattern on Ravelry whilst looking for a guinea pig pattern for my geriatric piggie whose fur is thinning, and thought it looked so cute on your giunea pig!!! ^^ Anyhoo, I was kind of wondering, how on earth do you get it on the creatures? As I don’t hae much experience knitting in the round, would it be possible for me to just knit the pattern on straight needles and turn it into a sort of cardigan…? I hae no idea if that would work, but it would make things a lot easier for me and possibly me guinea pig Thanks for posting such a cute pattern!

sorry it took me a while to get back with you. I didn’t see your post request till just now If you are still in need of that sweater I will try to knit one up for you really quickly. I really hope your piggy gets better soon. If you have changed your mind you can do what we did in rescue. We used socks and cut the foot part off and cut little holes for the arms. I had a foster that had the same thing happen. It turns out that she had mites and also a thyroid problem that caused seizures (rolling on the ground). I hope you get his problems figured out ASAP.

I need a sweater for him asap…Thanks!

Hi,

I came across your Nicholas Sweater pattern on Ravelry.com and was wondering if you wouldn’t mind if I tried to make a crochet version of the sweater. Unfortunately, I do not know how to knit. I would love to make my guinea pig a sweater.

Thanks,
Donesia

Hi there. Your pattern is the only one I could find on Ravelry for piggie sweaters. I am making it for a friend, so I don’t have a piggie to try it on to check the sizing. I did find a number of errors in your pattern and have added the fixes to my notes on my ravelry project page (echoesinthyme)…hope you don’t mind. Thanks for sharing your idea, it really is cute.

My guinea pigs are really feeling the cold this year. I’m going to start knitting.
