Pretty Pig Headband Crochet Pattern

For some very odd reason, pigs have always been a recurring  theme in my life.

One of my favourite movies as a toddler happened to be “Babe”, and every time I entered a Chinese restaurant I’d be greeted by the cliche “Chinese Zodiac Year” poster, which as you can guess by now, I was born in the year of the pig.
There’s also a series of books and a tv show about a pig called, wait for it… Olivia!
So as odd as it all is, I now love and have embraced my inner pig! haha
