Nearly five stars. My Pig came out about 6 inches tall using cotton DK. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Pig. It was for my dog-obsessed sister and it was the hit of the party. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. My one gripe is the trotters took a few tries to get symmetrical. Still recommend.
Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? Gave it to a teacher appreciation gift. I've been asked for four more. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Can't wait for more from this shop.
Worth every penny. I sell at craft fairs so I was nervous, but it went fine. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Already eyeing the other animals.
Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. If you're on the fence, buy it.
I've already made three of these. Made it in a snow day with velvet yarn (not recommended for beginners!). Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

Cutest thing I've ever made. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years, and this one still taught me something. The trotters and the ears are what make it look like an actual Pig instead of a blob. Way better written than the free version I tried first. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.
Really nice pattern with one small gripe. Made two: one for myself, honestly and one that is NOT leaving my house. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. Wish it came with a two-color variation, but easy to improvise. Would still buy again.
I've already made three of these. It was for my niece and it was the hit of the party. I liked that the color changes for the trotters are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. Used cotton DK and it came out palm-sized. Already eyeing the other animals.
My Pig is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. The proportions are spot on. The trotters is the perfect size. I left out the curly tail by accident and honestly it still looks cute. My new go-to gift.
Love love love this pattern. Download link came through instantly after checkout. My Pig came out palm-sized using Red Heart Super Saver. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. It went to my dog-obsessed sister and now the whole family wants one.
So happy with how my Pig turned out. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. The trotters and the snout are what make it look like an actual Pig instead of a blob.
Absolutely adorable. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the ears goes. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. Way better written than the free version I tried first. My new go-to gift.
Hands down the best Pig pattern out there. My Pig came out small enough for a keychain using cotton DK. My niece squealed. Mission accomplished. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.
So happy with how my Pig turned out. I make these for my Etsy shop, and this one still taught me something. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. Chef's kiss.
Cute end result, frustrating middle. Made two: one for my boyfriend and one that is NOT leaving my house. A video link would have turned this into five stars for me.
Good pattern, would recommend with a caveat. I'm a grandma of six so I was nervous, but it went fine. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.
This Pig came out SO cute. Emailed a question about the curly tail and got a friendly reply the same day. Gave it to my niece. I've been asked for four more. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. Very satisfying little project. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.
Love love love this pattern. Download link came through instantly after checkout. Took me one evening start to finish including sewing on the trotters. I appreciated the note about stuffing the curly tail firmly before closing. Made a difference. Gave it to my wife. I've been asked for four more. Thanks for a great pattern!

So happy with how my Pig turned out. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Took me a weekend start to finish including sewing on the trotters.
I screamed a little when I finished the face. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. Can't wait for more from this shop.
Not bad, not amazing. Emailed a question about the trotters and got a friendly reply the same day. The photos are good but there aren't enough of them for the curly tail.
Very cute, minor hiccup. I left out the snout by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Download link came through instantly after checkout. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.

Okay WOW. Took me a flight to Denver start to finish including sewing on the trotters. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.
Great pattern, not quite perfect. This one's for my husband (he loves them). Already planning the next one. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the trotters.

Finished my Pig last night! The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the snout goes. Great TV-watching project. Highly recommend.
Decent, but I expected a bit more. Made it in two nights with Paintbox cotton. Finished it, it's cute, but assembly was more frustrating than fun.
