If you are wondering if you’ll be able to do this, you can. I’ve been crocheting for less than a week, and he turned out amazing.
\nThe directions are simple, straight forward, and for someone very new to crocheting, I had no questions at all.<\/p>\n
What I really like about him is how closely he resembles an actual farm pig. Most of the crochet patterns you find are for a more cartoon-y look. Personally, I prefer realistic.<\/p>\n
The price is great and I’m looking forward to trying alternate colors on him next. I think he’d make a great gift for any pig lover!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I was also hoping to take most of December off, as I did last year (to rest and rejuvenate, and plan for the coming year), but I lost a lot of November to illness so I need to keep going just a little bit longer so I can get one last quick-to-crochet pattern to you in time for your last-minute Christmas gift-making.
