I know how much you love to be kept updated with the latest creations by Claire Garland (Dot Pebbles Knits) so I didn’t want you to miss this lovable new piglet knitting pattern. It’s brand new to Claire’s shop and is already a best seller. With it’s expressive little face, perked up ears and inquisitive snout, it’s not hard to see why.
If you’re a knitter and have someone who loves cute baby pigs, this one’s definitely for you (and them)!
It’s knitted on two needles, joining as you go and with minimal seaming.
The piglet knitting pattern is available to buy on Etsy here, and includes lots of ‘how to’ images to help you along your way. If you’d like yours to resemble this one made by Claire herself, her yarn recommendations are below.
