1. Measure your guinea pig. There are five key measurements that determine a
good fit (see pic.1):
From neck to "tail" (#1).
Around neck - at midway up the neck (#2).
Chest between front legs (#3).
From neck to underarm (#4).
Chest - around the widest part of the chest (#5).

2. Write down all measurements. And make a real-size paper detail (bottom left picture)
examples of your knitting: - of your chosen pattern stitch and determine the stitch and row gauge; - or in stockinette stitch, or in your chosen pattern stitch. I used "Dinner Bell Ruffle" (bottom right picture) & "Quatrefoil Eyelet Stitch" patterns.
