Painter Pigasso

Introducing the charming Painter Pigasso knitting pattern! This delightful project is designed for intermediate knitters and is knit seamlessly in the round, utilizing the Magic Loop technique or Double Pointed Needles (DPNs). When finished, this adorable Pigasso stands approximately 12 inches tall (excluding its ears and stylish hat). Crafted using #3-light weight yarn (also known as DK weight), this pattern is perfect for adding a whimsical touch to your knitting collection.

For this project, you'll need size 3 (3.25mm) and size 5 (3.75mm) 32” circular needles, especially useful if you opt for the Magic Loop method. The construction of the Pigasso is cleverly designed, as the legs, body, arms, and head are knitted on as you work through the pattern. The snout is attached later, allowing for a seamless finish. Please note that the clothes are integrated into the design, making them non-removable, adding to the charm!
