I promise you will just love this little guy’s mini crochet pig free pattern; his name is “Willy.” He is just a baby pig, and he has a little red nose made from a small button and a pointy ear.
He loves to go to school and make lots of friends. Don’t you want to make him? Crocheting an amigurumi pig can be fun and take little time.
Easy crochet pig pattern.
This free crochet pig pattern is easiest than any other crochet animal patterns that I make because there is no need to crochet the nose part. We use a button instead.
Basic stitches: This cute amigurumi pig is made from basic crochet stitches like single crochet and double crochet increase or decrease.
Simple seam: we will need to do a basic seam for each of the crochet pieces together to create the cute crochet piggy.
How to crochet a little baby pig amigurumi.
You can make this cute crochet mini pig in 3 easy steps.
- Step 1. Crocheted the head and body part of the pig with a simple shape.
- Step 2: crochet another itty bitsy piece of the pig, like the arm, leg, and ears.
- Step 3: attached and seaming all pieces together, and that’s all you did!
About the yarn for making this mini piggy pattern.
In this free crochet pattern, I use acrylic yarn in dk weight, or 4 medium weight is fine.
Acrylic yarn: this polyester fiber yarn is perfect for beginner and any other level of crochet experience because they are budget friendly and make a beautiful finish.
Cotton yarn and plant fiber: will be fine as well. Just remember to make your crochet tension steady.

Supplies & Materials.
To make you will need
1. Acrylic yarn in this pattern, I normally used 8 ply
2. Plastic eyes with safety backing 7.5mm ( you can find it at any craft shop)
3. Fibre polyester fill for stuffing
4. Sewing yarn needle
5. Ribbon or button
7. Crochet hook size1.25mm and craft glue
Note
The size of the crochet hook really does not matter. The doll designed will work just fine with different sizes of crochet hooks; only the end size of the creation will be slightly different.
In this pattern, working in round continuously, you may use a contrasting color short piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each round. When round one ends. Do not join at the end of each round; you will begin the second round in the next stitch.
At the end of each round, I have given the number of stitches you should have. If you are off by 1 or 2 stitches, do not worry about it.
