PATTERN DESCRIPTION:
Crochet this adorable piglet with soft bulky yarn yarn or you may choose to make a smaller version with worsted yarn and coordinating hook. This pig works up pretty quickly and is the perfect animal for markets. The specific yarn I used for this example is Premier Yarn Parfait Chunky. Michaels has a comparable yarn called Sweet Snuggles Lite. It is just a tad thicker, so I recommend going up on your hook size. These are just my personal preferences. Please use what you are most comfortable with.
MATERIALS:
• 4mm Crochet Hook
• Worsted Weight Yarn
• Chunky Yarn
• Stitch Marker
• Darning Needle
• Polyfil Stuffing
• Scissors
YARN USED: PREMIER PARFAIT CHUNKY
Main Color: Parfait Chunky - Ballet Pink
Accent Color: Parfait Chunky - Black
Eyes - Worsted Weight Yarn - Black
As mentioned above, you may use any weight of yarn, just make sure to use corresponding hook.
