DETAILS
The Minty sweater is available in three sizes and is suitable for cats and small breeds of dogs. This sweater is worked from the top down, starting with a turtleneck and continuing with an interesting and easy pattern that includes increases on the sides. The main detail of the sweater is that it lacks traditional sleeves; instead, it has one large open-arm sleeve, which provides great comfort for pets. The body of the sweater is knit in stockinette stitch, while the neck, open-arm sleeve, and bottom are worked in a ribbed pattern. The neck, open-arm sleeve and bottom are knitted in mint blue, adding attractive accents. The back is slightly longer than the front.

Or any other yarn of your choice which gives you the recommended gauge.
I love using 4-ply yarn for my sweaters but remember that you need to hold 2 strands of yarn together to achieve the right gauge!
It usually needs around 70 - 100 g of yarn for one sweater.
