OOo, thank you! I crochet, I actually have part one of the international diploma in crochet (sad but true). I am on it!

That's great... Oh to be crafty, we have problems tying our shoelaces... :lol!:
 
I have made an amigurumi octopus before but I'll have to try these when I can find my crochet hook and some wool :D
 
I can knit, I can crochet. I cannot sew, I cannot paint! The thing about knitting and crochet is, if you go wrong, you just undo it and start again. Crochet is easier, as you are only ever working with one loop.
 
I've just started to learn to crochet in the last week, but i've been teaching myself through youtube videoes and i'm really struggling to even make a basic square or anything, one day hopefully i'll be able to make one of these though! I envy anyone that can!
 
I do crochet and can knit, being of an age when girls still had to learn the basics at school. it's finding the time that is the problem here...
 
Thank you! I'm making a tiny hedgehog at the moment. My daughter will love these piggies.

It is easier to crochet a cycle than a square. It is also easier to crochet a square using treble stitch, rather than double crochet stitch when you are learning. It is getting the turning right at the end of a row that is key, and it is easier to do in trebles than doubles.

Will try a circle tonight thanks for the tips!
 
Those are so adorable! I taught myself how to crochet and knit. I'm currently crocheting a blanket to drape over the piggies cage at night during the cold western New York winter that will be coming soon.
 
image.webp I've got back into crocheting after not doing it for years and have sold some things. I crochet cupcakes and do a lot of amigurumi. I'm finishing off a big multi stitch blanket at the moment and trying out baby shoes. I've seen the guinea pig pattern before and keep intending to make one but there's always something else!

These are really good, we have made your photo's larger for you.. Looks like you can eat those cupcakes.. :D
 
Hehe, my Mum does crochet. Guess what I'll be asking her to make next? One of these gorgeous newborn baby guinea pigs! :D
 
I've done the little guinea pigs body and its difficult! I would say you have to be quite advanced in crochet to do one, there is popcorn stitch and invisible decrease which is tricky on something so small. If I get to finish it I will post a pic.
 
Treacle-I can send you a message on how to do them if you like-when I find my pattern out.

I did a diploma in crochet, and used to write for the knitting and crochet guild, before my husband died. It was suppose to be a career move. Didn't quite work out! But I like to think there isn't anything in crochet that gets the better of me!
 
I'm new to crochet so perhaps this pattern is a too advanced for me. Something to aim for though :)At the moment I am just getting the hang of everything. I would love to be able to do a granny square!
