Pig Egg

"You're going to love making the Pig Egg. It's beginner-friendly and just in case you're not a fan of working on both sides of a chain to make an oval shape, it features two types of snouts, one round, and one oval. And let's not forget the adorable curly tail. Due to the smaller size, it's also great for using up scrap yarn and can be turned into a keychain as well. So many possibilities to choose from! The Pig Egg is excellent for gifts, decor, Easter, pig lovers, imaginative play, keychains, and more! PATTERN INFORMATION + The pattern is written in English using US crochet terminology.
