Welcome to the second week of the CAL. If you missed last week, click here for part 1 of the CAL which we did the head, ears, snout, and tail. This week we are doing the body of the pig. Come over to Creative Snugglies Designs Facebook Community for all the fun with this CAL.

This week I will be going live in Facebook Group at 2 pm Thursday, August 18, 2022 to answer any questions you may have. We have a day trip planned with our coop on Friday to a local beach so I am moving the live day to Thursday this week.
Each week, please add a photo under the post for that week of your progress. You can also add a Ravelry project with the tag #sooeythepigcal. You can post in one or both places each week in order to be eligible for the prizes. I will pick 2 people from each the Facebook Group and Ravelry to win a Free pattern of your choice for participating in the CAL.
By purchasing the pattern, you receive an easy print template of the pattern with step-by-step easy directions and photo tutorials, and it stays in your Ravelry library and your Etsy downloads to download as many times as you want to.
Go buy the pattern today by clicking the button below.
Today, you will only need a G/6 4.0 mm hook, main color of your pig or what you color you want the body to be, stitch markers, polyfil, and scissors. I use the stitch markers to know where my first stitch is in the round since I do not join my rounds.
