Meet Francis, a porky pig perfect for a little farmyard fun!

He can be made in any yarn and hook combination you want. Just be certain that the fabric is firm enough that stuffing does not show through.

My Francis is made in Vanna’s Choice Solids and Heathers using two colors.

• Color 1: Pink (110 yards)
• Color 2: Silver Heather (25 yards)

Francis is an advanced beginner-level pattern. Skills you will need include single crochet, increases, decreases, crocheting into the bottom of a foundation chain and some seaming. Included is a photo tutorial on how create child-safe eyes from felt, although instructions for using plastic safety eyes are given as well.

The pattern has plenty of progress photos to help you along your way to making your own pudgy pig!
