Morning Coffee Pocket Pig

Yes, I’m one of those people to whom yarn occasionally “speaks” as to what it wants to become … Cleaning up some yarn remnants this morning, a small amount of pink, ugly yarn crossed my path and went straight into the cat pad bin. “No, no, no!” it called out. “Pig me, pig me!” With a chuckle, and remembering the mention of pocket pals in the most recent post, I picked up that yarn and went to work.

15yds of any worsted weight yarn is all you need, and some black for the eyes and the nostrils. And if you don’t have all looms that I used, just substitute … you could even use all squares for a “square pig”!

Here is what to make:

• Weave two hexagons on the Original TURTLE Loom™ for the front and back of the head.
• Weave one hexagon on the BabyTURTLE™ loom for the nose.
• Weave two triangles on the Original Jewel loom for the ears.

Assembly:

• Sew the two hexagons together along four sides to prepare the head.
• Attach the two ears along the top as shown.
• Weave in the ends of the Baby hexagon. With black yarn, attach it as the nose with two cross stitches.
• Embroider eyes.
• Gently stuff the head and close the remaining two sides.

Have another coffee and enjoy your pocket pig!
