Year of the Pig ♥ Crochet Pattern

Happy Lunar New Year! I have never celebrated Lunar New Year but it looks like so much fun and I always love finding out what the animal of the year is going to be. This year it’s the year of the pig! Back in January, I posted this 2019 garland as a Patreon reward (Join now to get February’s reward!). On both ends, I attached a pig decal because wanted to incorporate the year of the pig.

Today, I’m going to be sharing the pattern on how to make those piggies! You can get really creative with this pattern and use the pig decal for multiple different projects. For example, you can make a brooch, a coaster, or you can make a pig garland! Remember to tag me @mooeyandfriends or @mooeyscrochet of your completed projects so that I can see them.
