I was asked by a friend to knit a Piggy Hat for her daughter and found this pattern on
Ravelry, a wonderful source for knitters and crocheters (kind of like Facebook for us!).
I really liked this pattern. I did what I usually do when I use patterns like this, which is using them as a template and I tweak to techniques I prefer or find easier.
One thing I didn't understand was the pattern's way of doing the edging. I usually prefer a crochet edging, pretty much the ONLY time I prefer crochet since my brain can't understand how to do anything other than single crochet. Ha! I also used size 8 and 9 needles, instead of 8 and 10... mostly because I couldn't find my size 10 needles and was too lazy to look for them in my stash. I had fun learning how to do the curly ends!
Overall, the pattern is great and super adorable. I hope my final product does the pattern justice!!
