So there, all you who doubted the aerial capabilities of the porcine race. *EDIT* I just added a new row (3.1) to try and help the people who say the nose is too small. I hope it helps.

How to make the flying pig:

Worsted weight, F hook.

Starting with nose:

1. Ch 2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook.
2. 2 sc in each sc.
3. 1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc.
3.1 (added to help the nose problem) 1 sc in sc, decrease over next two sc.
4. 2 sc in each sc.
5. 2 sc in each sc.
6. *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc* around.
7-15. 1 sc in each sc around for 8 rows.
16. *1 sc in next 6 sc, 1 sc decrease in next sc* around.
17. Repeat row 16.
18. Repeat row 16.
19. *1 sc in next 2 sc, sc decrease in  next sc* around.

Do this until the hole is small, stuff piggy, continue decreasing until the hole is shut.

Ears: Ch 5, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in each of next 2 chs. Finish off and sew to head.

Wings:
Ch4. Turn and do 3 sc on the chain. Ch 1 turn.
3 sc, ch 3, turn, 3 sc on chain. 3 hdc on next 3 sc. ch 1 turn.
3 sc, ch 4. Turn, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, 3 sc in ch, 3 hdc in scs. ch 1, turn.
4 sc in hdcs.  Ch 5, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, 3 sc in ch, 3 hdc in scs. Ch 3 .
*Work 4 dc decreases down the edge of wing opposite the feaher ends. Ch 3, turn, repeat from * once. Fasten off.
Sew to body just behind ears.

Feet: Ch 2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each sc around for two rows. Fasten off, stuff, sew to body.

Tail: Ch 7, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch IN ONE LOOP ONLY.

FABULOSO!  Whenever someone says or does something totally out of character I feign great shock and say, "Let me look out the window and see if pigs are flying"---so I will have to be making one of these for myself.  Great job, and thank you thank you for posting the pattern.
