Since this is a very basic pattern, you should be able to add or subtract easily to get the sweater size of your Yorkie.

Directions:

Cast on 66 sts MC. K1 P1 for 2" (24 rows).
Work in stockinette ST another 2" (24 rows).
At the beginning of the next row, K across 9 sts and place on a holder, then knit through the row, placing the last 9 sts onto a holder as well.
