Small Piggy

Introducing a delightful knitting pattern for an adorable toy that features movable arms and an articulated head, while the body and legs are designed as one solid piece. This charming finished toy stands at approximately 5.1 inches (13 cm) tall, making it the perfect size for cuddling or display.

To create this lovely knitted doll, you will need the following materials: 4 double-pointed needles sized appropriately for your chosen yarn weight. For best results, we recommend using needles that are one or two sizes smaller than what the yarn suggests to ensure a firm and durable fabric. For this project, we used size 2 (3mm) needles.

For the doll's body, we suggest using Pink and Crimson acrylic yarn from Special Stylecraft, which is 100% acrylic and offers 304 meters per 100 grams. This yarn provides both vibrancy and softness, perfect for toy-making. Additionally, you’ll need toy stuffing to give your finished creation its delightful shape and firmness.

Enhance your doll's features with plastic safety eyes or opt for two buttons to create the eyes for a classic touch. A yarn needle will be essential for sewing pieces together, and a stitch holder will help you manage your knitting as you work through the pattern.

This comprehensive knitting pattern is perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters looking to create a charming toy. Dive into the world of knitting with this fun project and create a treasured companion that will be cherished for years to come. Happy knitting!
