Find here a cute Pig Applique Crochet Pattern! I am starting a new collection of appliqués! I am working on Farm Crochet appliqués. You can use them to personalize a crochet blanket, a crochet bag or even some clothes!  The first one I did is a pig! My dad loved pigs and we used to give anything with pigs on it. So making this little crochet pig made me think of him.

Don’t forget to join my Facebook group,  you can ask your questions, and share your finished projects. I will regularly ask you what pattern you would like to see next (or you can even suggest something even if I am not asking!).

I hope you will enjoy and understand the pattern. If you have any questions, please write to me, I will try my best to help you.

If you make some of these crochet appliques, snap a photo and hashtag it #natalinacraft. I’d love to see your creations on Instagram , Facebook. I love to see your photos!
