You will need to use a video editor that will permit you to flip a video. What software are you using?

The pig would turn out larger but the stitches will be much looser so your stuffing may show through. You may want to consider using two strands of yarn at the same time so your stitches are nice and tight and will not show your stuffing.

Hi Teresa! Just wondering that if I used lets say a “L” hook would the pig come out even bigger? I have a friend that wants a large pig and I really like yours. Can you please let me know! Thanks again for everything!

The pink pig is about 7.5 inches long, the smaller pig is about 6 inches long.

this is a great tutorial, but the pigs looked larger when you displayed your example at the beginning of the video than the actual outcome

I flip the video track so the work is identical to the right hand version. Even if I could crochet with both hands, I would do it this way for the purposes of time.

For the left handed version do you just use a mirror image of the right handed version?
