fiberfill into the body of pig crochet

My suggestion is that when we hook to R15, you can add fiberfill into the hole of fabric.

fiberfill is completed

We hold the fabric with our left hand and put the fiberfill into the hole of the fabric with the index finger of our right hand.
Don’t put too little fiberfill, or it will feel soft.

My suggestion is to put a small amount of fiberfill into the hole with multiple times, and the most obvious effect is a full shape.
