This little piggy is knitted flat with minimal seams and joining as you go, the only part you join on after completion is the wee little curly tail.

This little piggy is knitted with yarn held together for fuzziness and subtle shading - I used Drops Alpaca with Drops Kid-Silk mohair but you can, of course, stash-bust… I think just a quarter of a regular ball will do it.

This little piggy pattern has also the option of adding wires to make him/her pose-able and giving you the options to animate him/her too, see mine here

I say him/ her - I was going to add teats but didn’t, you can though if you want to!

This little piggy is not too big - you can up the size if you like by knitting with larger needles (mine were size 4) and increasing the yarn weight (mine was sport)

This little piggy is very cute and if you’d like to share yours please do over on my Instagram page @dotpebbles_knits using the hashtag #imadethislittlepiggy
