Product Details
And the winner of the cutest cavy competition goes to... Gordon the guinea pig! Measuring 18cm/7in from his little pink nose to his big brown bottom, Gordon is the handsome hunk that your hutch has been hankering for. His head and ears are knitted using the intarsia technique but only for a few rows at a time, making him the ideal project for more adventurous knitters. And, just like a real guinea pig, Gordon enjoys nibbling scraps so you’ll only need small amounts of yarn to make your own ravishing rodent!
You'll be pleased to know that this pattern has been reviewed by professional technical editor to ensure that it's super-easy to follow!

The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the finished project was very realistic. Looked just like my pet.
Quick and easy to knit. instructions clear. Great result. Definately the nicest Guinea pig pattern out there,
A very quick and easy pattern to follow using up oddments of light brown and black wool. Very happy with my resulting 'guinea pig' which I have made for my eldest grandaughter. She loves guinea pigs! I'm working on a second one to give to my other grandaughter so both will be happy.
Easy to knit and so cute when finished. My kids had multiple guinea pigs growing up and this one looks almost real. All it needs is a squealer sound button.
Knitted Gordon the guinea pig a couple of times very pleased with results grandsons friend lost her guinea pig so knitted her one the same colours she loves it
He/she knitted up wonderfully. I made him/her for a kindergarten class to have as a class pet. Like that you can change the color of fur combinations if you wish. Body & head are one piece.
Good pattern
