Why You'll Love This Adorable Pig Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pig pattern because it strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and personality.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this pig pattern by switching up the colors to create unique personalities! Instead of traditional pink, try making a spotted pig using white with brown or black patches, or go whimsical with pastel purple or mint green for a fantasy-inspired friend. You could also add a tiny flower crown between the ears or crochet a miniature scarf for seasonal variations.

For a more advanced twist, consider adding embroidered details like rosy cheeks with pink thread or tiny nostril details on the snout using black embroidery floss. Some makers love creating a whole farm family by adjusting the pattern size—use a smaller hook and thinner yarn for baby piglets, or scale up with bulkier yarn for a mama pig.

The curly tail is another area where you can get creative. Try making it slightly longer for a more dramatic curl, or experiment with the number of single crochets in each chain to adjust the tightness of the spiral. You could even make the pig in holiday colors—red and green for Christmas, pastels for Easter, or orange for autumn harvest themes. The possibilities are endless, and each color combination brings out a completely different character in your handmade creation!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff the head before closing can make it difficult to achieve proper shaping and firmness throughout the piece ✗ Overstuffing arms and legs makes them stiff and awkward instead of naturally poseable with a soft, huggable feel ✗ Placing safety eyes too far apart or at wrong rows creates an unbalanced expression that affects the pig's adorable appearance ✗ Skipping stitch markers during continuous rounds leads to miscounting stitches and uneven shaping throughout the entire project

Infos :

After you make one light pink ear, leave the thread uncut and continue to crochet the light pink and a dark pink ear together. Take the dark pink triangle and place it over the light pink triangle. Sc through both triangles all the way around. Because the light pink has more stitches (39) than the dark pink (30) you will need to skip three stitches on each side of the light pink triangle. Sew the ears on the head between rows 7 and 13. Let there be about 12 stitches between the ears on row 7. Leave about 4 stitches of the bottom of the ear unattached to give it an earlobe look. Bend the top of the ear to give it a folded look.

FAQs

What size will the finished pig be?

Using a 2.25mm hook and lightweight yarn (weight 3), the finished pig will be approximately 6-8 inches tall when sitting, making it a perfect huggable size.

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

While you can experiment with different weights, using yarn heavier than weight 4 may result in skewed proportions and gaps in your stitches. Stick with weight 3 for best results as designed.

How do I make the ears look natural and floppy?

After crocheting the two-toned ear pieces together, sew only the bottom portion to the head, leaving about 4 stitches unattached for an earlobe effect. Gently bend the top forward to create that characteristic folded pig ear look.

Is this pattern suitable for children's toys?

Yes, but if making for children under 3 years old, skip the safety eyes and embroider the eyes with black yarn instead to eliminate choking hazards.

Why should I leave the top of the limbs unstuffed?

Leaving the top 4 rows of arms and legs unstuffed makes them easier to position and sew to the body, and also allows for more natural movement and posing of your finished pig.

How do I achieve smooth color transitions on the limbs?

Follow the seamless color change technique described in the pattern: insert your hook into the next stitch, wrap new color around hook, pull through, then wrap new color again and pull through both loops on hook.
