Tips for pig crochet:
As below:

As shown in the picture, we can see that there are 4 red circles, each circle represents a row, and the whole row is raised.
V shape represents a stitch.

For beginners, it is difficult to find the stitches.
Use a yellow marker to mark the first stitch and a blue marker to mark the last stitch.
At the beginning of each round, add a chain stitch to keep the row high. Don’t forget.
R1

6 sc in to magic ring.
We pinch the yarn end with the index finger and thumb of our left hand, pinch the fabric with our right hand, and then use the strength of our left hand to tighten the yarn end.
The center of the circle will slowly shrink.

Fiberfill

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

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.
Don’t put too much fiberfill, or the stitch will be pulled too tight.
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.

2.Finally, there are two stitches left in this round. then crochet s dec again.
