It is 5 inches after it is finished. You can make it longer if you wish. This also fits a Tea Cup Chi. If you want it to fit a bigger pig, rabbit, or very small dog you can try using larger needles and some DK, worsted weight, or even chunky yarn and follow the same pattern.

Is it 5 inches *after* joining the front and back or do I stop when I’ve done 5 inches total? I’m knitting the pattern for a friend’s daughter’s guinea pig

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

This was just a regular sock pattern, I just don’t like long cuffs so I shortened the rows of the cuffs.

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.
