Pack your bags and get ready for an adventure with “The Vintage Traveler” Pig. This sophisticated piggy is dreaming of faraway trips and grand expeditions. She features a lovely pink complexion with sweet embroidered spots on her cheeks. Her travel attire is impeccably chic: a classic beige trench coat dress cinched with a belt, a vibrant red silk-style scarf to keep her warm, and sensible yet stylish reddish-brown loafers.

She never leaves home without her essentials: a dark brown cloche hat, a sturdy vintage leather-style suitcase, a world map to plan her route, and a tiny paper airplane to symbolize her dreams of flight. This pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters who enjoy creating detailed clothing and miniature accessories.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
