I’m a little confused by this pattern. When making the rounds, are you joining and chaining 1 before starting another round?
This is a very difficult pattern to follow. I tried and tried and it just didn’t make sense. Such a shame.
This little pig is SO cute and the pattern is quick and easy to work up! Thank you for sharing your pattern.
What size crochet hook?
Pattern was so easy to follow and the little piggies are so quick to make and so so cute. Thanks for sharing this pattern
Not the best pattern for a beginner or even an intermediate.
Took a while to figure out what was meant by the ears. Basically it’s saying to attach the ears with four stitches. The ears have five stitches in the first round so I just skipped the middle stitch of the ear and used 4 sc across to match with 4 sc of the ear. For the legs it is saying use what ever puff/bobble/cluster stitch you want but make sure it has 4 dc. So 4 dc puff stitch, or 4 dc bobble stitch, or 4 dc cluster stitch. whichever suites your plushie.
That was all I found to be difficult with the pattern. Could have been written more clearly but it seems it is translated from foreign language.
This works up really cute. Took me a minute to get the instructions but once I did they were easy to follow.
This is a super cute pattern but it needs a few additions. Explaining or linking a video on how to do the Booble stitches would be helpful. I did find a video and made it work. For those needing to know how you start a double but only pull through the first 2 stitches then start another double by yarning over and going into the same stitch and pull through the first 2 stitches on your hook. Repeat this 2 more times then yarn over and pull through the 5 remaining loops on your hook. Then do you SC in the next.
Also something about stuffing needs to be added because I didn’t end up stuffing til after I had the tail done and had a tiny hole in which to get the stuffing in. I would stuff it before you get to the last row of decreases after row 13.
Hope this helps some people.
Could you help explain the ears? Thats the only thing I’m having an issue with
I need some help with the ears, could you explain it more in depth? I did the 4 stitches together… but how do I attach the ears with a single crochet? This is for a Christmas gift so I hope you can reply soon! I love the pattern I’m just confused on that little bit. Please help me! Thanks!
Look up plush_toys_poly on YouTube. It isn’t in English but you can see how she attaches the ears
