Small Wonder

I have a bunch of finished projects to show from May and June. Stuff that was either blocking during my surgery and never got shown or stuff recently finished. My blocking boards came yesterday so I'll be able to finally block the stuff I haven't shown because I was waiting for those. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll have time to start that. In the mean time we have these that don't need blocking on the boards.

You know I knit this so long ago I can't even remember all the adjustments I made to the pattern. I used worsted instead of bulky. I'm pretty sure I didn't knit as many rows of garter to start off. Also I knit one less repeat for the yoke and for each repeat I knit fewer rows. I knit a lot less length for the body obviously as this pig isn't that tall. Also I think I knit few rows at the bottom garter stitch section.

That is too cute! Would it actually fit a baby or it's smaller than that?
