Free Pattern Tuesday – Green Pig from Angry Birds

Green Pig

Things were a bit clearer today and I remembered the picture was actually on my work computer. Here’s the new free pattern.

If you make him, make sure to use #drunkenauntwendy when you post so I can find it.

Check around my blog for Red, Blue, Yellow, Black birds. There is also a helmet pig.
