Introducing the adorable piggy toy knitting pattern! This charming piggy is knit in the round, beginning at the nose and continuing seamlessly to the back, all the way to the bum. From there, you’ll knit the belly and finish at the neck. The side seam is then sewn to form the arms and legs. Hands and feet are created by picking up stitches from the arms and legs. The ears and tail are knit separately and sewn on afterward. Finally, use basic embroidery skills to add delightful features to the piggy’s face and body.
