Oink, oink! Can you hear these adorable little crochet piggies calling you? Designed by Di Di-Thu Bung Muc Len, they will make charming toys or room decorations. Whether for kids or keen pig lovers, this pattern is too cute to miss!
Why Make This Pig Amigurumi
Pigs are loved by kids and adults alike – especially when they are soft and irresistibly cute like these crochet piggies. They are about 8 cm tall, which makes them perfect for both play and decor. Make your own baby pig as a new addition to your farm animal collection, a lovely desk decoration, or a sweet toy for your baby.
Materials Choices for Best Results
Although the pattern doesn’t include supply suggestions, you will need materials suitable for amigurumi projects. If you want your pig amigurumi to be as small as the original, use a sport-weight yarn and matching hook (e.g, 2 mm).
YarnArt Jeans makes a great choice for this project, but feel free to use any other yarn that you like.
How To Crochet a Pig Amigurumi
To bring this crochet pig to life, you should know the most basic amigurumi techniques. The pattern uses single crochets as well as some shaping and sewing to create all the details.
Customize Your Crochet Pig
Who said piggies have to be pink? These crochet cuties can be made in any color you wish and still look adorable. Blues, greens, yellows – what a colorful pig squad would that be!
Of course, don’t feel discouraged from sticking to the traditional pinky look. It lends so much charm too! You can add a tiny bow or flower appliqué to one of your piggies for a sweet girly touch.

FAQ
Do I need safety eyes, or can I embroider them?
Either works! But if you want to give it to children under 3, embroidery is safer and still looks cute.
What’s the best stuffing to use?
Polyester fiberfill works great for amigurumi. It makes them firm enough to hold their shape. These piggies, however, are so small that stuffing them with yarn scraps will work great, too!
Is this pig crochet pattern written in US or UK terms?
