Gerald the Unfelted Stuffed Pig

Pattern: Felted Pigs by Judy Head
Yarn: Impeccable Antique Rose

I love my little piggy!

Things I learned while doing this project:

• how to use my new row counter (which was very important for this very row-specific increase/decrease project)
• sewing several pieces of knitting together
• sewing buttons onto knitting
• “embroidering” a snout
• stuffing a project
• crocheting a spiral tail (cast on 10 sts, half-crochet 3x into each st)

Next time I knit a stuffed toy, I have to make sure my knitting is tighter because you can see the stuffing through Gerry. Also, perhaps next time I’ll make a stuffed toy out of wool for felting.
