This is a modification for my Parker the Pig pattern available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops.


Parkwas the Zombie Pig

brought to you by MTP Designs

Materials: 

#4 medium weight yarn, approx 120 yards

Polyfibre fill

E 3.5mm hook

Needle for sewing in ends and attaching pieces

25-30mm eye

                                                         

Stitch Guide: 

sl: slip stitch

ch: chain

sk: skip

st: stitch

bb: back bump

yo: yarn over

hdc: half double crochet

hdc incr: half double crochet increase

Special Instructions: I suggest using the invisible dec wherever a dec is called for

Gauge is not important with this item, changing the hook or yarn size will simply change the size of the finished piece, just make sure you use the appropriate size hook for your yarn


bobble stitch: (yo, insert hook, draw up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops leaving 2 on the hook) x5 until you have 6 loops on your hook, yo, draw through all loops, ch 1 to close the stitch

picot stitch: ch 3, 1 sc in the 3rd ch from the hook
