You can work the miniature piglet from the stitching chart shown above or you can download a printable pdf (acrobat reader) version of the piglet chart.

The piglet shown in the sample was worked on 32 thread count Lugana fabric with the DMC threads shown on the chart. The design was worked over a single thread using single strands of embroidery thread to render it as shown in the photo. This combination is actually better worked with a single strand of silk thread, or silk sewing thread if you intend to work it in cross stitch on this size of fabric. The cross stitch shows up much better on a slightly larger weave of fabric.
