3. Materials Needed

– Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in blush pink (approx. 150 yards), cream (approx. 50 yards), and rosy red (approx. 20 yards)

– Hook: 3.5mm or 4.0mm crochet hook

– Eyes: 12mm safety eyes

– Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill stuffing

– Needle: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

– Marker: Stitch marker to keep track of rounds

– Optional extras: None required

4. Designer Notes / Tips

– Stitch technique: This pattern mainly utilizes single crochet (sc) stitches and increases (inc) to create the pig’s rounded shape. If you’re unfamiliar with these stitches, be sure to check online tutorials for assistance.

– Stuffing density: It’s best to use a firm stuffing for the body and head to maintain the chubby look while ensuring it remains cuddly.

– Assembly: Since this is a no-sew pattern, you’ll be joining pieces as you go. Be mindful to keep your stitches tight to maintain the shape.

– Yarn substitutions: You can use any soft worsted weight yarn for this project. Just be aware that different fibers may affect the final size and fluffiness of your pig.

– Gauge tips: A loose tension may create gaps in the stitches, so keep your tension consistent. Aim for about 5 sc per inch to ensure your pig turns out the right size.

– Safety considerations: If making this for a young child, consider using embroidery instead of safety eyes or ensuring that all components are securely attached.
