Why donating is important and my thank you here.
These are adorable! Thanks for sharing :) Have you thought of making a giraffe? I would love that! I'm going to make the collection for my son.. He will love them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Toni!! No, I never thought of a Giraffe but it's a good idea! I have a few things to get done like youtube videos and things but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the suggestion! So glad you like the patterns :)
DeleteSharon XO
Update Toni-Nicole!! I got the giraffe made and will post the pattern asap!
DeleteYour patterns are amazing!i can never make anything crochet wise when reading through directions,but yours was super easy to learn and also very cute(: have you thought of a zebra?
Delete-katelyn
Thank you Katelyn! I'm so glad you find them helpful, that is my goal always :)
DeleteI have a few more characters on the back burner. First I want to get a couple more follow along videos filmed for the patterns that have been posted already. A zebra sounds really cool... I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks for the message!
Sharon XO
What about their TAILS??
Deletetails.
Deletethis is an old, old pattern, I can't remember what happened there but I do have pigs with tails, a number of newer patterns with curly pig tails that can be used for this pig. If you are viewing from a computer, scroll up, look in the top right corner for the search bar. Type in 'pig".
If viewing from a mobile device you'll have to click "web version".. you have to scroll down to see it, it's located under the "home" button
Thank you so much for this really cute pattern! My daughter will love him :) Helen x
ReplyDeleteSo glad Helen! Always exciting for me to read messages like yours :)

I was thinking a hippo would be super gorgeous!!! I'm making every single one of these little cuties! Maybe not once, maybe 2 or 3 or..... Lol. They are gorg :)
ReplyDeleteLove Leanne from mummas-bindiz xxoo
Hi Leanne! A hippo is a great idea... I'll see if I can come up with a pattern
DeleteThank you so much, I'm so glad you are making some and then some more, lol brings out the happy in me :)
Happy Crocheting!!!
Sharon XO
I think you should make a wolf; that way, someone could make a Three Little Pigs playset.
ReplyDeletethat's a great idea Cj, I'll keep it in mind :)
DeleteThank you for your great patterns - my piggy is nearly done and he is so so cute! I just love your patterns! My DS 3yo has just announced that i need to make 'no piggy mamma! Boots! (puss in boots)' i was also told it should be this colour (pointing to his picture orange) and make black boots, mittens, cape and sword - Thank you for having the job nearly done for me LOL :) God bless you :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome and thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I love the request, lol so very cute!
DeleteMany Blessings to you and yours :)
Sharon XO
This is so cute. Any chance you'll be posting a YouTube video showing this pig?
ReplyDeleteYou could actually use another Little Bigfoot video to follow along with. The body, head and limbs are all the same stitch count and shape. The only thing you'd do differently is the muzzle and ears. I hope that helps you out!
ReplyDeleteSharon
All of your stuffis just so cute!I have made the little bigfoot monkey and the little bigfoot piggy so far. O I was wondering if u could send me each one of the jelly bean monsters or just the blue one they are so cute but i cant figure out to make them please send me one!Chat back as soon as posible so that if you say YES i can send u my mailing address
ReplyDeleteHi there! First of all, thank you very much, I'm so glad you like my patterns :) The Jelly Beans are a pay for pattern. I currently have 30 free patterns and 2 pay for patterns. The 2 pay for patterns are available as e-books on amazon or as PDF patterns through Ravelry, Craftsy or Etsy. You can find those links if you scroll a little ways up this page and look on the right-hand side.
DeleteThanks for the message!
Sharon

Deleteoh so glad! And you will have lots of requests from your family, lol Yes, tell them to come and if they can't crochet I have videos that will show them how :)
DeleteHave fun!!

DeleteHi there, so sorry but I can not do that right now. I only have patterns for sale at this time because I am strapped for time.
DeleteI do have a row by row video for this bee if you want to give it a try, it takes you through every stitch.
Hope it works out for you!
Sharon
Hi Sharon, thank you so much for gracefully sharing your patterns. My result of the piggy is to see on my blog: http://liszha.blogspot.nl/2013/02/pig-farm.html And ofcourse I did link to your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Lisette!
DeleteYour pigs turned out so very adorable. Love all the other pigs too:)
Thanks for sharing your pictures with me, they were fun to look at.
Sharon
Have you published a book with these in as I would love one
ReplyDeleteHi Ros, no sorry I haven't. I did think about it so maybe one day I will, nothing planned at the moment. I sure do appreciate your message, it was lovely to hear from you.
DeleteHappy Crocheting!!

Your little pig is gorgeous. I would like to use the print friendly button, but the only thing I than get are advertises. Also on your website I see a lot of advertises I don't like to see.
ReplyDeleteSo I am sorry that I can't use the nice pattern.
And yes I already tryed to changed my account for Google to remove all these advertises. Notting changed.
Dear greetings, Margaret
When you click on the print friendly the pop up box will appear and then look in the top left hand corner of the pop up box, there is the print icon and click on that. The pattern should be sent to your printer.
DeleteI've never heard my website was full of advertising from anyone before.. I have 3 ads on the site, one at the top, one at the side and one at the bottom. These ads help sustain a website where every pattern is free. I don't charge for patterns so the ads help pay for the yarn. I have over 60 free patterns and that's a whole lot of yarn, lol
Hope that helped :)
I'm making this little guy right now, and he's coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteI found an alternative way for Head Row 4. I like to space out my stitches evenly, and this looks just as nice.
Alternate Version: 4) *3 sc, 2 sc in next st (* repeat 3 more times), 2 sc (22)
Original: 4) 3sc in first st, 1sc in next 8st, 3sc in next st, 1sc in last 8st (22)
Thank you for creating him. :-)
I love your crochet animals I just wanted to tell you the problem I had I was going by the written pattern and when site was diwn last night I ended up going to video but the body and head a one piece in video and seperate here it got a little confusing just wanted to tell you the difference I found thank you
ReplyDeletethank you... yes, that would be confusing but that's because you were doing 2 different patterns. This is a tiny pig I designed in 2012. I redesigned this pattern in 2014, the difference being the head and body are now one piece and the overall pig is larger. I also have one other pig pattern called the dress up pig and they are even larger and a completely different pattern altogether.
DeleteClick here for the revised Little Bigfoot Pig You can also scroll up, look on the right hand side you'll see a list of labels, click on "pig" and all my posts with pig patterns in them will pop up.
