Frosya is a fluffy, pale pink piglet with a big wrinkled snout, long floppy ears, tiny dark hooves and a dreamy little face – so soft and characterful that everyone wants to cuddle her. A lovely gift for pig lovers.
A crochet pattern by Svetlana Pertseva with step-by-step instructions, tips and photos. A wire frame shapes the body and ears; an optional cotter pin joint makes her poseable. Please note: the clothes (tutu and bow) are NOT included.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS:

• Main yarn in pink and brown – I used yarn with about 375 m / 100 g; any moderately fluffy yarn will do.
• White yarn for the whites of the eyes, slightly thinner than the main yarn.
• Matching crochet hooks – I used 1.75 mm for the main yarn and 1.5 mm for the white yarn.
• Two black beads or half beads for the pupils – I used 3–4 mm.
• Single core copper PVC electrical wire – about 80 cm (31.5 inches), 1 mm thick, for the body and about 50 cm (19.7 inches), 0.75 mm thick, for the ears – and adhesive fabric tape about 1 cm wide for the wire ends.
• Stuffing, strong thread for needle sculpting and something to add weight to the bottom.
• Cotter pin joint (optional): 2 discs (I used 35 mm), 2 washers (15 mm), 1 cotter pin and pliers.
