This is Nutschi. Nutschi is the name for a cute little pig with me in Central Carinthia. I love Nutschi, but Nutschi is especially popular at my New Year's Eve stand. Especially children then stand for minutes in front of the "piggery" and can only decide with great difficulty which one they want to take. I have already tried all possible color combinations - all are simply adorable.

In the instructions, all the steps are explained in detail and I have tried with many pictures to make everything vivid.
Nutschi is crocheted very quickly. If you know the following stitches and techniques, then you are already there:
slst = slip stitch
chst = chain stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
fpdc = front post double crochet
bpdc = back post double crochet
tr = treble crochet
Magic Ring
inc = increase (for this pattern, the technique „invisible increase“ is used; in general, you crochet 2 sc into 1 stitch)
dec = decrease (for this pattern, the technique „invisible decrease“ is used, in general you crochet 2 sc together)

Nutschi is about 6 cm tall, if you crochet with the specified wool thickness.
