Oink oink!! After the Quacktastic duck bookmark, the adorable Frog bookmark and the Hippity Hoppity bunny rabbit bookmark, I felt we needed to add a pig to this happy little bookmark farm. 😉 You’ll definitely want to use the Invisible Decrease when crocheting amigurumi, and make sure you are moving your stitch marker up each round to keep on track!
