Pattern notes:

This cute little pig is the fourth pattern in my Farm Animal Potholder Series. It all started when I went to Montana this past summer to work on a ranch and met the most welcoming and hospitable ranch owner, named Wanda. She home-cooked amazing meals for us each night and I had the pleasure of visiting her farmhouse kitchen, which was decorated mostly with roosters. The first potholder in the series, the Rooster, was designed with Wanda specifically in mind, as well as all the other moms and grandmas who love making their kitchens feel warm and inviting!

I recommend using a natural fiber for potholders, such as cotton or wool. This one was knitted using 100% cotton from hobbii.com named Rainbow 8/4 Print and Rainbow 8/4 Deluxe. You can use whatever colors you like, but I find using a solid with a variegated color is really fun!
