She features a soft, rosy pink complexion and sweet expression. Underneath her coat, she wears a classic nautical blue and white striped shirt, ready for puddle jumping. The star of her outfit is the removable A-line raincoat in a vibrant grass green, featuring a spacious hood topped with bulging frog eyes. She accessorizes with matching green Mary Jane shoes and a quirky crossbody bag shaped like a tiny tadpole. To stay dry, she holds a large, nature-inspired Taro leaf umbrella. This pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters who enjoy creating detailed costumes and accessories.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Gauge & Finished Size
Work tightly in continuous spiral rounds for the pig body so the stuffing does not show. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, the finished pig stands approximately 26–28 cm (10–11 inches) tall. The raincoat is designed to be removable.
Construction Overview
The pig is constructed in pieces: head, snout, ears, legs, body, and arms. The legs are joined to form the body. The torso features color changes to create the striped shirt effect. The raincoat is worked flat for the body and in rounds for the hood. The leaf umbrella uses wire for structure.
