Prissy Pig
Pattern by: CrochEmma
Several months ago, my brother suggested that I start making my own crochet patterns. It seemed crazy and I thought it was an impossible task. But secretly, I liked the idea. So I hid in my room (just in case the project was a major fail) and got to work. Not only was it possible, it was fun, and I am proud to present to you Prissy Pig. I hope you enjoy making her as much as I enjoyed bringing her to life.
It's cool to see how different crocheters put different spins on the pattern and I would love to see how your piggy comes out. Feel free to tag me in pictures @croch.emma on Instagram.
Special shout out to Jack for the inspiration. (No, I'm not listening to your "I told you so.") ;0)

Sew tail in the bottom of the pig’s back. Make sure the tail is centered.
