Bring playful sweetness to baby and toddler projects with this smiling cartoon piglet, shown sitting with outstretched arms, a round snout and a little tongue peeping from its open mouth. The closed smiling eyes, oversized ears and neat curly tail give it a gentle, friendly look that feels especially suited to nursery pieces and children’s clothing. Worked in seven thread colours across light pink, pink, dark pink, brown and white, it has enough contrast to keep the face lively without losing its soft, child-friendly feel.
This is the kind of design that sits well on bibs, sleepsuits, little T-shirts, rompers, hoodies and cotton pyjama bags, and it also works nicely on quilt blocks or a nursery cushion front. Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design with filled areas, it gives a solid, bold result that stands out best on stable fabrics or well-supported knits. The broad shapes of the ears, hooves and sitting legs read clearly across the size range, so the piglet keeps its happy expression whether you want a small accent or a more noticeable centrepiece.
