Mr. Porkers is an amigurumi pig that I made for Emerson.  His initial name was Clive but Emerson preferred Mr. Porkers, so Mr. Porkers it is…

I got this pattern out of a book called “Cuddly Crochet” by Stacey Trock.  You can also find this pattern HERE on ravelry.  I love all of the animals she has in her book.  They are so much fun to make.  I finished up  this pig in about 4 days.

I wish I could get the body parts together as well as Stacey Trock can.  Mine always look a little funny once they are put together.  I still haven’t figured out what I am doing wrong.  I have a lot of trouble when it comes to putting the head on.  It just doesn’t seem to sit on the body like I want it to.  My goal is to eventually do one of these animals and have them look like the original.  Wish me luck.

I used the Stylecraft Aran yarn to make this piggy.  I used black and fondant for the colors.  The stylecraft yarn is the perfect yarn to make animals.  The colors are just so vibrant.  You can purchase this yarn HERE.

I purchased my yarn on Deramores online, but it would take quite a while to get from England.  I have since found a new store in the USA @ “loveknitting.com”.  They have great prices and free shipping is offered on purchases of $50 or more.
