Tot Toppers - Miss Piggy Hat

A superfast girly knit with two ears, a snout and a curly tail!  Hat is worked in the round; ears are worked separately on double pointed needles as part of the decrease. Snout and tail are knit separately and stitched on. Bows are constructed with a crocheted chain. Sizing implies stretching for a snug fit; size up if you prefer a looser fitting cap.
