Richard Pig Crochet Kit

One of the first animals to be crocheted by Kerry Lord and appearing in the very first copies of the Edward's Menagerie book, Richard the Large White Pig was reimagined in TOFT's pastel shade of 'Peony' in 2023, and now sits in 'Oatmeal' alongside his other friends in the menagerie. Also known as the 'Yorkshire Pig', this particular breed of pig was developed in the county during the 19th century and can be identified by its pointed ears and friendly nature. Its crochet counterpart has been designed for complete beginners, so is a great place to start for anyone new to the craft, as well as any Edward's Menagerie fans looking to complete their crochet collection.

This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you've finished crocheting Richard the Pig, you'll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!
