How do you create a virtualenv using python installed by pyenv


I have 2 pyenv versions installed

pyenv versions
  system
* 2.7 (set by ../.python-version)
  3.5.3

when I am creating a virtualenv inside my project directory, I want it to create a virtualenv for the current pyenv python version 2.7

but when i'm creating one using mkvirtualenv whatever

the virtual env is creating a python3 virtualenv
