Pattern Corrections & Tips
- Mark the first stitch of every round. This keeps your spiral easy to follow.
- Keep all bobble stitches firm (tighten stitches to enhance the "feet" and "nose").
- To prevent stuffing from showing, use a hook one size smaller than usual.
- If following the ear placement seems confusing, use a stitch marker to separate FLO/BLO rounds.

For a firmer, more defined piggy, stuff tightly but take care not to stretch your stitches. Have fun experimenting with colors and accessories for a piggy full of character!
