Crochet Pig Pattern

Free amigurumi pig pattern that you can personalize.

How to Crochet a Pig

The head, body, limbs, and ears of the amigurumi pig are worked in the round, which means that you begin with a magic circle and then crochet in a spiral to build out a spherical shape. Once the pieces are crocheted and stuffed, they are sewn together using a yarn needle to put together the pig crochet. For the nostrils on the snout of the amigurumi pig, you will need only a small length of black yarn to embroider two small, vertical lines.

Amigurumi Pig Pattern Tips

One of the trickiest techniques when beginning to crochet your first amigurumi is the magic ring/circle. This is the start of each piece in of pig amigurumi free pattern and it creates a circular base that you work around to form the head, body and other pieces.

There are several ways to make a magic ring/circle. If it’s your first time making the magic ring, don’t worry if it takes a bit of practice to get right. But once you get it, you have now gotten over one of the toughest hurdles in crocheting! And then start crocheting your own pig crochet animal!

Pig Amigurumi Pattern

When making the amigurumi pig, you will stuff each piece with polyfill. If you want to avoid the stuffing showing through the pig crochet, the stitches on your pieces should be tight and close together. This is accomplished by using the right hook size with the yarn that you’re using.

For my amigurumi pig pattern, I used medium/worsted weight yarn. You’ll know if the yarn is the right weight by looking at the label for the “4” symbol. For the hook size, I recommend starting with a 4.0 mm hook. If you find that your stitches are too loose, try switching to a 3.5 mm hook. If your stitches are too tight, you can try a 4.5 mm hook. When your crocheting experience grows after a few pig crochet projects, you’ll find what works best for you.

Crochet Dog Pattern

Amigurumi dog pattern that you can customize and download.

How to Make an Easy Crochet Dog 

This free crochet dog pattern consists of crocheting one head, one body, two arms, two legs and one tail, which is common for most mammal amigurumi. There is a colour change in the head so that the bottom of the head matches the colour of the muzzle.

In the part of the crochet dog head pattern that requires the colour change, it will read:

R10 (sc 4, inc) three times, place marker, (sc 4, inc) three times (36)
R11 With W, sc in each st around (36)

Up until R10, you are crocheting in colour A and then you will need to switch to colour B for R11 and onward. To have a clean colour change,  before completing last stitch of R10 (at the stage where you have two loops on your hook), yarn over with colour B and draw through the two loops on your hook.

Amigurumi Dog Tips

The arms and feet in this amigurumi dog pattern use a special stitch called the “puff stitch” which resemble little thumbs or toes.

puff st: *Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, draw yarn through stitch. Yarn over, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook. Repeat from * one more time in the same stitch, ending with 3 loops on the hook. Yarn over and draw yarn through all 3 loops.

Dog Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

This crochet dog amigurumi pattern uses dark brown as the main body colour and beige for the contrasting muzzle. The black yarn is used to embroider a nose on the muzzle before it is sewn onto the head. A 4.0 mm crochet hook is suggested for working with medium/worsted weight yarn, but if you are finding your stitches too loose, you can use a 3.5 mm crochet hook.

The pieces of the dog amigurumi are sewn together with a yarn needle, also called a darning needle, and has a large eye for threading thick yarn.

How to Crochet an Amigurumi Bunny

In this bunny crochet pattern, we work on assembling the head and the ears first. When crocheting the head, there is a round that instructs to place a marker (use a strand of yarn or stitch marker) in the middle of the round that will help determining where the safety eyes should be and location of the nose. Once the head is attached to the body, the arms can be easily positioned and sewn onto the sides of the body. The feet are sewn onto the crochet bunny in a sitting position and the bunny is stabilized with the tail sewn on the back.

Amigurumi Bunny Pattern Tips

One of the most difficult parts of crocheting an amigurumi bunny is sewing the pieces together. When I am sewing to attach pieces together, I position the pieces and then secure them with sewing pins. This makes it easier to visualize where the pieces should go and is less fiddly than having to hold a piece down with your finger while also trying to sew it.

Bunny Pattern Crochet

The crochet bunny pattern uses white yarn for all of the pieces and a little bit of pink yarn is used to embroider the nose. The yarn used is a medium/worsted weight yarn and when worked with a 4.0 mm hook, the stitches should be tight so that the stuffing doesn’t show behind the fabric. When sewing the amigurumi bunny pieces together, use sewing pins to position and hold the pieces down to make things easier.

If this is your first amigurumi bunny and you have little experience with making the magic ring, you can watch the video below. Practice makes perfect!
