Let Penny The Pig look after your pennies and never smash another piggybank again - use the hidden opening on her tummy when you need some coins for a special treat.

This pattern is in US crochet terms and has written instructions for all parts. There are also step by step photos detailing how to begin crochet, assemble the parts and finish the object. Skills used are working in rows, working a round, working in back loops, increasing, decreasing, chain stitches and slip stitches.

Finished piggybank will measure 12cm/4”7’ long when made in Rowan Handknit Cotton yarn with 3.0mm hook. You will need 50g of yarn, a pair of 8mm black safety eyes and small piece of Velcro.
