Let's start!

(The number you will see in parentheses behind the instructions is the number of stitches you will have at the end of the row)

Body

Row 1: 6 sc in a magic ring

Row 2: 6 increases (12)

Row 3 y 4: 12 sc in each row

Row 5: 1 sc - 1 inc (18)

Row6: 2 sc - 1 inc (24)

Row 7: 3 sc - 1 inc (30)

Row 8: 4 sc - 1 inc (36)

Row 9: 5 sc - 1 inc (42)

Row 10 a 21: 42 sc in each row

👁‍🗨👁‍🗨 Place the eyes between rows 6 and 7 with 4 stitches in between.

Row 22: 5 sc - 1 dec (36)

Row 23: 4 sc - 1 dec (30)

Row 24: 3 sc - 1 dec (24)

Row 25: 2 sc - 1 dec (18)

Row 26: 1 sc - 1 dec (12)

Row 27: 6 dec.

If after the last decreases there is still a hole, close it with a woollen needle just taking the front loop of the stitches until it is close. Then, make a not and hide the yarn passing the needle through the pig's body.


EARS

Row 1: Magic ring 4 sc

Row 2: 1 sc - 1 inc (6)

Row 3: 1 sc - 1 inc (9)

Row 4: 2 sc - 1 inc (12)

Row 5: 6 sc

Make 1 slip stitch in the next stitch, cut yarn leaving enough yarn to sew to the body

LEGS

Row 1: 5 sc in a magic ring

Row 2: 5 inc (10p)

Row 3: 10 sc

Make 1 slip stitch in the next stitch, cut yarn leaving enough yarn to sew to the body 

TAIL

16 chain stitches. The excess strand at the beginning of the chain stitch should not be too short. 

Continue making 15 sl st starting at 2º chain. At the end we cut the thread leaving enough to sew to the body and secure with 1 knot.

🧵 SEW THE EARS, LEGS AND TAIL

EARS

Having made 6 sc in the last row there is a part that is a little longer, this longer part will be the one that will go in the back, so the ear will be slightly inclined forward.

I have placed them on row 11 with 8 stitches between them.

Before sewing, I secure them with pins to leave them well positioned. I sew by taking the outside of the stitches.

Legs

I have placed the front legs between rows 11 and 13 with two points of separation.

I have placed the rear legs between rows 19 and 21 with 4 points of separation.

As with the ears, I pin and check that the position is correct.

It is important that as we sew we respect the circumference of each leg, since without realizing it we can make it smaller.

Sew the tail

With the shortest strand and the help of the wool needle, go through the pig's body through the center.

With the longest strand we are going to sew a few stitches starting from the center. Sew approximately 1 cm towards the top so that the tail does not fall. 

Shape it a little with your hands to form a spiral.


🐽 To make the little black holes in the nose I use a sewing needle and black thread, making several passes.

With the paws and eyes I also make a couple of marks to mark the hooves.
