Tutorial to Crochet the Miniature Piggy Amigurumi 

This crochet project shows you how to make a tiny and cute piggy keychain. You will use soft chenille yarn in two shades of pink to create a fuzzy texture. The project starts with the main body, which is worked in a circular shape called a magic ring. You will use special bobble stitches to create the pig’s small feet directly on the body.

After filling it with soft stuffing and adding safety eyes, you crochet the ears and a curly tail. This little pig is small enough to fit in your hand and makes a wonderful gift for friends.
