This is an automated post. A new pattern will be added every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from July 7 to Aug 2 and they will be available until I return on Aug 9. I will also be able to answer comments and questions then.

A few notes: I suggest making the head last, so you can add ears, eyes, etc as you go. I places the eyes into the 12th and 16th stitches of the 7th row. I also weighed the bottom of the body with plastic pellets to keep them standing up, but you may want something heavier (like a pebble or magnet).
Materials:Red Heart Soft Yarn in Pink and Chocolate (I thought the pinks available for Red Heart Soft were too light, so I used Vanna’s Choice Baby in Pink Poodle. Honestly, I can’t even tell the difference!)
3.0mm crochet hook
Scissors, Yarn Needle, Safety Eyes
Pattern:
The Basic Body and Head patterns are available here.
Pig Ears:
In Pink:
Ch 3. 1 sc in the second ch from hook, 1 hdc in the first ch. Ch 1, cut yarn, pull through. Use yarn ends to tie to head.
Pig Nose:
Beginning with a Magic Loop, ch 2. (The loop counts as the first ch.)
Round 1 – 6sc into the first ch. (6)
End with a slst in the next stitch for a more even appearance. Cut the yarn and pull the tail through. A length of scrap Chocolate yarn makes a cute embroidered nose. Use the tail from the nose to seam it to the head.
