I’m making a small Angry Birds set for a child of my husband’s co-worker. Wasn’t sure what would be appropriate but I figured he could throw the plushies at each other.

As an aside, I believe this pattern is worked top to bottom.

I went with cotton because a) the pig would be bigger than if I used Simply Soft and b) thought the pig would hold up better with a young child. My son’s plushies have noticeably pilled when I’ve used acrylic.

Originally I started with a different, larger pattern, but that was just too much for my Christmas-overloaded brain to handle. Went with this smaller pattern and the pig worked up very quickly.

Didn’t intend to make a king version, but I attached the ears too far over to one side.
