This is Porkene.
Made with soft Rico baby teddy aran . It has the texture of sirdar snowflake but knits beautifully .
I purchased my yarn from Deramores website .
Knitted on 3.5mm needles but I do prefer the 3mm . it is purely your preference which needle size you are comfortable with .

You can have your piggy in a sitting position or you can sew the legs so that it is standing .

Other yarns that would work,

Sirdar snowflake DK
Bernat Pipsqueak
King cole cuddles

some of these are heavier weight yarns so you may need to check the yardage .

Thank you for looking
