May 5th is a holiday that commemorates Mexico's victory over France in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. To many, though, it is simply a day of festivity and a celebration of Mexican culture.
In keeping with the holiday, I wanted to crochet something fun. I decided on a piñata. This little guy isn't for smashing, though - he's just a decoration.
Some piñata fun facts:
- Piñatas may have originated in China
- The first piñatas were made of clay
- Traditionally piñatas are filled with candy and fruit
- An estimated 60,000 adults will be attacked by their children with a bat or stick following a pinata party this year.
- You can make your own real pinata!
Happy May 5th and Happy Crocheting!
