Safety eyes are inserted between specific rounds to bring the piggy's gaze to life. The body's construction mirrors the head's initial steps, starting with a magic ring and expanding the stitch count through rounds of increases. After reaching the required dimension, the pattern incorporates straight and decreasing rounds to taper the body for that characteristic piggy shape.

Making: Begin with a magic circle and proceed through specified rounds. Starting rounds create the snout, and subsequent rounds form the body. This involves increasing stitches to expand the size, then constant rounds without increases to elongate the body shape. The snout and body are crocheted as one piece, starting from the snout and working towards the body. Ears start with a magic circle and involve simple increases followed by constant rounds to create a flat, rounded shape.
The ears are then squished at the base and sewn onto each side of the head. For the curly tail, a single crochet stitch is made where the tail will be placed, followed by a chain. Then, working back along the chain, two single crochet stitches are made in each chain stitch to create the tail's curl. This piece is then securely woven in at the end.
