He's super cute!
I featured this little piggy (hahahah) on my website recently as a great summer project, was so cute I had to make one! Super cute and so easy! My finished piggy will be popping up on my site soon to.
This pattern was amazing! I am so glad I found this. My little piggy came out super cute. I love the way you made it all in one piece and made it easy while doing so. Looking forward to trying another pattern of yours soon!
Do you have a sheep or pig pattern like this? My brother LOVES farm animals.
sorry or chicken
I just love your simple and super-cute pattern(s) How clever and delightful that you design them all-in-one piece. I for one do not enjoy sewing all the little bits together when making others' patterns.
I added a little curl to the tail with 3 sc in each chain.
Keep creating such fun!
Idk why my last comment was "unknown" I am Sheila in Greensboro, North Carolina and just finished my second little piggy tonight (with curly tail) So fun!
I have a mini sheep on here which is a free pattern. It is bigger than this though. I will look at making a chicken.
This is a really fun pattern! Thank you very much. I used Sheila's curly tail and I'm really happy with how it came out.
I'm having a hard time understanding row 11, can you explain it to me a little easier?? Otherwise I love making this guy !!
Hi, first I'm French so I'm really sorry for my English (I'm sure that it will be a torture for your to read me sorry T.T
So I just started crochet and I'm not familiar with some terms that you used in this pattern(so cute pattern)
What is an "hdc"?
I don't understand but I really want to create this pig for my godfather
Because he really likes pigs.
But I can't do it if I don't understand this partðŸ˜
Hi, did you have any luck with row 11? I just got there and I’m stuck too! Thanks - Jo
hdc = half double crochet, you yarn over, put your hook through the stitch, pull through, yarn over and pull through all three loops on your hook. Hope that helps 😊
Amy h. have you sussed it now? I have just got past row 11 to row 12!
I was impressed with the site that you created, so memotipasi many people to be more advanced, there also kunjugi me, as a comparison MyCrochetPattern channel
Thank you so much for this pattern! What a relief not to have to fiddle with attaching ears and legs! A very clever design. Thanks again!
I loved making this little guy (although mine came out a bit bigger). Thank you for posting this pattern :).
I love these!!! I've made two so far and will keep going. They are perfect for the Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. Rather than finish off at the end I decreased until the hole was closed and then chained eight and 3 single crocheted in each stitch (starting with second stitch in chain) to make a curly and already attached tail (as an above commentor did). It came out perfect. I love that I can do the entire pig without attaching pieces. Thank you! I can't wait to try your other patterns.
Thank you so much this is a wonderful cute pattern, I made one so quickly and love the all in one construction.
