Body &
Snout
Usa a pink ball
of wool and begin by tying a slip knot. Make sure not to close the knot
completely and close the sling with a sling crochet (SlC). Cover the result, a
ring, with 5 single crochets (SC) into the hole. When you are done, make sure
to draw the loose string tight so that no hole remains. Increase the number of
crochets in the next row by doubling them in each previous crochet (=10
crochets). Row three is continued with one single crochet and one doubled
crochet per previous crochet in turns (=15 crochets) and row four with two
crochets per previous two crochets and a doubled crochet per previous crochet
in turns (=20 crochets). Continue to crochet single stitches for the next rounds,
then decrease accordingly (subsume two crochets into one). Do not forget to stuff the piggy with batting before you close the body.
To create
the snout, stop when you have decreased to about 5/6 stichets. Continue with
one single crochet per previous crochet for about 2 to 3 rounds. Then decrease.
Feet
Start with
the above-mentioned ring, but only increase 2x in the first round. Then crochet
one more round. You end up with a half-open ball that you can sew onto the body
with its open side. Repeat 3x.
Ears
Start with
a row of 6 SlC's and one additional SlC. Turn and decrease already with the
first two SC's (repeat it at the other end). Decrease accordingly until you
only have one crochet. Add one into this crochet.
Tail
Start with
a row of about 8-10 SlC's. Crochet the first and only row with SC's but do your
stichets around the string, not in a straight manner.
Finish
Glue on the
eyes, sewn on all the parts and sew on a mouth in blue wool. Voilà, you're
done!
