Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4 · Fig. 5 · Fig. 6 For body (Sock No. 1) follow the basic instructions on page 7. FORELEGS: See instructions for elephant on page 7. NOSE: Cut toe from sock, insert a small circle of cardboard and stuff (Figure 1). This makes the snout. Sew to front of head. TAIL: Roll a 4 strip of sock into a tube shape and insert a length of wire (see page 33 for tips on wiring). Sew closed and pull one end into a point (Figure 2). Sew the other end to body and curl the tail round finger to get corkscrew effect. EARS: Cut four ears from sock as shown (Figure 3). Sew two together, turn and sew to side of head. Repeat for other ear. FEATURES: Cut a pink felt nose (Figure 4) and stitch to front of snout. Embroider two stitches for the mouth lines (Figure 5). Since Piggy’s eyes are slits, exaggerate them for more expression. Embroider wide ovals in brown yarn, adding small brown buttons in the middle. Add a few eyelashes. FEET: Make a stitch in the middle of each foot and pull tight to form trotters (Figure 6). |
