About Crochet Amigurumi Pig Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: The pig is crocheted in many separate parts, starting with the Head and Body using single crochet, slip stitch, and the same increase/decrease. The arms and legs are simply crochet cylinders.
The Snout is a flat, round piece of pink yarn attached to the front of the head, and the ears are stitched with an increasing pattern.
The Christmas Hat is crocheted as a separate piece, in red, with a color change to white to create a trim using a puff stitch, and a white puff stitch pom-pom on top.
You will also crochet the dress as a separate flat piece that is then glued onto the pig. Everything is easy. In the end, chain stitch ribbon is also needed.
