Pig amigurumi FREE pattern
Hello crafters! How are you doing?!
Today I will talk about this amazing amigurumi crochet technique that it is becoming a hobby for many of us! Plus, I am sharing this beginner-friendly pig amigurumi pattern!
During these hard times that we are all sharing in the world, crochet has become a therapy option for many people. Kids, teenagers, moms, and everyone started to learn new skills and discover new passions.
PIN IT FOR LATER!
I learn to crochet with my mom at the age of 11, she taught me knitting and embroidering also. But what I fell in love with was this beautiful Japanese technique that we call amigurumi.
Crochet toys were always there, but little, small, cute, and practical came with a Japanese kawaii way of making.
When I first started making amigurumi, I started making animals, and animals are still my big love, even though now I do dolls, characters, imaginary trolls, everything that my mind imagines, I put into action. And it was so calming for me, so a relaxing time where I need to concentrate my thoughts and leave all my problems behind.
A few of my friends asked me to teach them and thinking that this can help more people than only my friends, I decided to create an easy and fast amigurumi crochet pattern so everybody can learn, and relax! In the end, you will have a beautiful piece of the crocheted toy made by yourself. And this feeling, believe me, is a stress relief!
For this post, we are going to crochet a cute pig amigurumi!
This adorable crochet pattern! A super easy amigurumi pig, using a combination of simple techniques, to help you improve your crochet!
If you are a complete beginner in amigurumi, don’t worry! This pattern is for amigurumi beginners, and if you have any trouble completing the pattern, write me in the comments below. I will make sure to help you!

TIPS:
- Remember to keep your stitch with a tight tension, this way, you won’t have any see-through gaps.
- Always count your stitches after every row, so you will make sure to have the total amount of stitches.
- Use a piece of yarn to mark the last stitch, so you won’t miss where the beginning and end of your row are!
Well, that said, let’s begin!
