He just makes me happy :) I debuted by design for the Angry Red Bird Coffee Cozy as part of a giveaway on my Facebook page, and he was so popular I wanted to make him available on a wider scale. While I suppose I could try to get away with selling them, I would prefer not to sell something that is licensed or copyrighted. I'm offering this pattern for free, but am linking my blog to my paypal account in case you feel like giving a donation.

Assembly - use above picture to guide your placement of pieces
Cut felt pieces for ears, eyes, and nostrils. Stitch nostrils to nose and black circles to ears. Position nose near center front of the cozy, and position mustache under nose. Stitch nose and mustache into place. Using fabric glue or embroidery thread, attach eyes to face, with bottom of the dark circles under his eyes nearly even with the bottom of the nose. Using a small amount of white yarn, stitch eyebrows over eyes. If desired, slip stitch with black yarn around both the top and bottom of the cozy to give the pig an outline.
