Shh....don't wake the sleeping Pig Baby! The Pig Baby crochet pattern is a fun but simple crochet pattern to make. This baby crochet pattern is an adorable squishy plush prop. The top is a bonnet, so it will slide on very easily and the ties even have a little curl. The set is simple so the bonnet will only need adorable ears and a little snout. Then on the tushy cover there is an adorable curly tail. If you know basic crochet skills then you will be able to whip up the Pig Baby in now time.
Get ready to get hooked on the adorable Pig Baby!
