Happy Friday everyone! I have a new addition to the farm collection that seems to be growing. I've been a little bit hooked on farm animals lately!
It's been awhile since making a larger amigurumi and I forgot how much fun and cuddly they are. So much so that I'm working on the next farm animal now, hoping to have it ready for you in a couple of weeks!
If you've missed any of the other animals in the farm theme you can find the link to their free pattern below!
You're finished pig will measure about 13 inches tall when using size 4 worsted weight yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. Because everyone crochets with a different tension, your pig may be slightly larger or smaller. Feel free to adjust your hook size to your tension.
If you feel you crochet loosely, try going down a size so your stitches are nice and tight (this will reduce the chance of your stuffing showing through). If you crochet tightly, move up a hook size to see how you like it!
For this pattern you will want to be familiar with making a magic circle, invisible decreases and color changes (although there are only a few!). If these are new methods to you, a mini tutorial for each can be found on the Tips to Learning Amigurumi page, complete with helpful photos along the way!
Be sure to also check out the Grace and Yarn Crochet Group on Facebook. Share your WIPs, ask questions and engage with others who love to crochet!
If you'd like to be notified when new patterns are released you can sign-up for my newsletter here! I'll keep you updated on new patterns, giveaways and tutorials as they're posted!
I've used plastic safety eyes for this pattern, if you would like to use an alternative these are my favorites!

SC- Single crochet
SC INC- Single crochet increase

*Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. You will be working in the round, I like using a stitch marker at the beginning of each round.
Let's get started!
Legs and Body
Legs: Make 2 - Using dark pink
Round 1: Create a magic circle with 6 SC
Round 2: SC INC in each st (12)

When you reach the chain make a SC across each of the 3 chains, SC in the remaining sts of the next leg and SC across each of the 3 chains again. You will have crocheted on each side of the chain. (54 SC) This completes your join and is where your next round will start. (Picture above references round 22)
