In keeping with Christmas tradition, I created another animal themed gift for my family's gift exchange.  This time I created a pig scarf, hoping that my pig-loving aunt would end up with this gift.  Because everyone knew she wanted the scarf, a game of keep away started making this Christmas's gift exchange even more memorable that last year.  And luckily everyone was nice enough to let her have it in the end.

I got my inspiration from this pattern available on Etsy, but I designed the scarf on my own and I'm not sure that I could recreate one that looks just like it.  I also followed the advice from this blog post in making a curly tail.  The scarf is made completely out of half double crochet and a soft pink yarn.  The most complicated part was making the nose look realistic.  I used small black buttons for the eyes and gave the pig two 3-D ears and four legs.
