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
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.
