I don’t think it’s you, I think it’s written wrong or maybe missing some steps. I did the wings 4 times following ( or trying) the directions and they don’t look anything like wings.
I’m having trouble with the wings? Do you have any pictures of steps? I’m pretty new to crochet so I’m challenging myself but having a hard time following along. The pig part was super easy and I’m proud of myself so far 🙂
Have looked at pictures of this pig for a month. Followed many links that did not get me to the pattern. Finally found a good link from commutercrochet from a few years back. on April 20, 2008, I did not see this on Ravelry or any of the free crochet pattern sites. A lot of people would want this pattern if they could find it out there for free.
I’m glad that I was able to help on your determined quest to find the winged pig crochet pattern. I thought the pattern was available on Ravelry, but perhaps not. I hope your winged pig proves to be the guardian angel of pigs for you. Thanks for taking the time to let me know your story!
