Start by making a set of piggies with a section left out in front, parted on a slant.
Starting on one side of the part, take a section and do a half shoe string knot. Take the end on the right (closest to the pig) and temporarily pin it back by the pig.
Part out another section. Adding in the end from the knot above, do another shoe string knot, sending the end on the right over by the pig again. Continue to the bottom of the section. When you get to the bottom, take all the ends you have pinned to the side and add them to the pig. (Repeat these steps on both sides of her head.)
To do the knot/bun on the pig: Take the pig and split it in two. Do a half shoe string knot. Take one of the ends and twist it.
Wrap the twisted piece around the knot several times.
Bring it down to the bottom of the pig and add it in with the other end of the knot with an elastic.
Now you can curl the piggies and add some cute bows or flowers.(Sorry about this picture, I was having a hard time with my camera.)
I LOVE the buttons in these flowers!! I may have to stop by Lil Tinkerbell Boutique for another set!

Hi, I just found your blog today for the first time. I just have to tell you, I love the hairstyle you have pictured. I will add you to my favs. I look forward to seeing your cute hairstyles. Maybe I will even get brave and attempt your adorable designs.
I love your blog! I have 4 girls (8,5,2,and due in May). I am not creative with their hair, but your ideas have made doing their hair fun. My 5 year old has crazy curly hair and some of these ideas have tamed her hair a bit. And seeing the baby hair posts gave me hope about doing my 2 year old's hair, and so I gave them a try, and it worked! So fun!
