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.
The directions are simple, straight forward, and for someone very new to crocheting, I had no questions at all.
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.
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!
