Crochet Pig Pattern Step-By-Step Tutorial

The side of “v” which is facing us is the front and the part which is hidden is the back.

If there is a pattern instruction that says “crochet in front loop only (FLO)”, it means only the front part is to be taken with the hook.

For back loop only (BLO), we take the loop which is farther from us, the back loop.

Most novice users should, in my opinion, utilize the marking button (yellow in the article) immediately after the first stitch is created.

Also, as explained in the article, blue marking buttons should be positioned right after the last stitch is completed.

The crochet chain stitch is necessary here as it helps start new rounds, maintains height, keeps even edges, preserves structure, and prevents gaps in the neat, orderly pattern.

Do 6 single crochets in the magic ring.

Magic Ring – Utilizes the index and thumb of the left hand to hold the strand and pinches the fabric with the right hand. This aids in making the middle of the ring, or part of it extremely small, which resembles an ‘O’ gap.
