Difficulty: Experienced

Notes: This pattern is written in English, US crochet terminology and SI units are used throughout. I use a smaller hook size than the yarn calls for to get tighter stitches. Piper is crocheted top down in continuous rounds. All measurements are approximate & will vary with your yarn & tension.

    Nice. It was kinda hard to do, since I was using a 3mm hook with 8 ply yarn, but it’s cute. 🙂

    1. Nea says:

      That does sound like a challenge. 😉 Thank you! 😊

  2. kara says:

    needing help in this row of pattern pls

    R39.5 to move end of row, 3 sc, remove marker from next st, sc & mark new st, sc, end of row should now be between 2 markers P3 (96)

    1. Nea says:

      Hi! Sorry for the super duper late reply, what part of the row is confusing you? The point of R39.5 is to move where you end/start the remaining rows, you can see this by comparing the positions of my bobby pin marker and crochet hook in P2 and P3.

  3. Sel says:

    I made this and it looks just like your photos!!! Amazing pattern, I’m super happy with the piggy! You should totally do a YouTube video on making this!!

    1. Nea says:

      That’s awesome! Thank you so much! ❤️🙏 Hopefully I will have time to get into making videos sometime in the future, it would be a lot of fun I think.😊

  4. Nikray says:

    I am having a hard time with that row of pattern as well. I understand it is to move the end/ start of the row but it says (96) stitches. What part of the pattern are we to repeat? Thank you

    1. Nea says:

      The stitch count should be 96 after R39. So since R39.5 only moves the end/start of each row/round we will still have 96 stitches after R39.5 as well.
