Flying Christmas pig
The pig is an impressively intelligent mammal, ranking fourth on the smartness scale, surpassed only by clever animals like ravens and dolphins! The whimsical expression "When pigs fly" is known as an adynaton, suggesting an impossibility and indicating that something will never happen. But this December, you can create a truly magical holiday miracle by crafting this delightful knitted pig. You can also spin a captivating Yuletide yarn about why your own charming Christmas pig desperately wishes to take flight!
This adorable 14 cm pig is knitted using 2.25 mm double-pointed needles (UK size 13, US size 1) in Phildar Partner 3.5 (004) rose, but feel free to use any type of yarn you have on hand. While the size may vary slightly, the overall proportions of your project will remain consistent. This knitting pattern is classified as an easy to medium project, perfect for knitters looking to hone their skills. It involves some knitting in the round and an i-cord technique. Plus, the pattern includes detailed directions for making the charming Christmas hat and the delightful angel wings, which you can create from any leftover scraps you have lying around.
So why not dive into this holiday knitting adventure? Create a whimsical companion for your festivities!Wishing you a fable-ous, fantastic Christmas!
Happy knitting, Viv
