Gauge and specific yarn is not important for this project. I used a size E hook and worsted weight yarn and got a pig about 12 inches long/tall. For a larger or smaller pig, just adjust your yarn thickness and/or hook size.

The pig can be made two ways: like a “farm” pig, or more like a “teddy bear pig.” Everything but the legs (and arms, in the case of the teddy bear style) are the same for both. The main difference is the direction in which you sew on the head. Whichever way you choose, it’s sure to be a cherished gift!
