Hello! We start crocheting a pig amigurumi from the legs, moving on to the body and head. Hands, patch and ears are sewn. To knit, you need two colors of pink yarn – light and dark. This is necessary to highlight the “hooves” on the legs and the patch. Enjoy knitting a cute pig!
Author’s pattern by Katkarmela. Post ready work and ask questions on the doll pattern in my group in Facebook or Instagram (links on the “About site” page).
What you need to knit a pig:
- Acrylic, acrylic+cotton or cotton yarn. I used YarnArt Jeans yarn 55% cotton 45% acrylic, 50 grams, 160 m. The color of the yarn is pink and light pink.
- Hook – comfortable for you and yarn. I took hook No.2 for my yarn.
- Filler – holofiber.
- Needle for stitching.
- A little black yarn or floss for eye embroidery. You can take black beads or buttons.
Conventions:
- sc – single crochet,
- ch – chain,
- inc – increase,
- dec – decrease,
- sl st – slip stitch
