"It's Cute. It's Pink. It's a crochet pig rattle! Sigh. This guy just gives me so much joy! Those chubby pointy ears.. the sleepy eyes… Ever since I made the cow, fox and hippo rattles, I've been wanting to design a pig rattle. Pigs are just so stinking cute. Then, I found this Bernat Super Value color that reminds me of a big juicy berry. The skein was intended for another project… but then that little pig rattle… well.. it just wanted to be made! So earlier this week, I ditched all my other crochet plans and crocheted this little guy up! Isn't he a cutie?!"
