New Born Teacup/micro Puppy Sweaters

A breeder friend of mine mentioned that she wished there was a way to keep one puppy in need warm without over heating the others. Well, being the knitter I am, I came up with this simple pattern. Pictures will be on their way.

Materials
Fingering weight or sock yarn (You ideally want a super wool. wool will keep the pup warmer than acrylic, but with added bonus of superwash, you don't have to worry abt it felting when you wash it.)
3mm knitting needles I used 2 npds because I don't need a long needle
3 extra small buttons
needle for weaving in ends.
