P is for Pig

Everybody loves a good creative wallow, right? I prefer to wallow in a vibrant pile of yarn instead of a muddy puddle, but hey, each to their own! If you're ready to indulge in some delightful knitting, you're in the right place.

For this charming little piggy pattern, you'll need to be comfortable working in the round on double-pointed needles (or you can use the Magic Loop technique if you prefer). You'll also need enough knitting expertise to manage increases, decreases, and the Kitchener stitch for grafting. Don't worry! The short rows for the pig's ears are low-impact and straightforward. I find they are not even a little bit scary – I skip wrapping, so don't let that intimidate you. This engaging pattern is designed to be enjoyable and accessible!

When crafted in the luscious FarmGenevieve handspun yarn, completed Pigs measure about 15" from head to toe, making them the perfect size for cuddles or display. This pattern is ideal for intermediate knitters and above, but I encourage adventurous beginners who are ready to tackle circular knitting to dive right in. Trust me, this project will be a lot of fun! And don’t worry; pattern support is always cheerful and ready to help you through any challenges.

FarmGenevieve.etsy.com has created the perfect yarn for this adorable little piggy! Not only is it beautifully hand dyed, but it has also been spun into a wonderfully bouncy texture. The wool used comes from a small flock of Jacob sheep, a critically endangered breed, which adds a unique touch and story to your knitting experience. Embrace the joy of creating while supporting sustainable practices with this delightful project!
