About This Pinky Pig Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a sweet Pinky Pig amigurumi complete with a removable sweater, little corn cobs, leaves, and a woven basket. You will work the pig in rounds and assemble all parts with clear placement notes for eyes, nose, ears and tail. The pattern uses small hooks and color changes for neat shaping and charming details.

Why You'll Love This Pinky Pig Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings a playful character to life with surprisingly simple shaping. I enjoy the mix of small accessories — the corn and basket — that add personality and make the finished piece unique. The construction encourages careful finishing, which always makes me proud of the final result. I also love how adaptable the design is for color changes and tiny outfit variations. Creating this pig is both relaxing and rewarding, and I hope you feel the same joy making it.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color schemes for this pattern; try pastel shades for a softer, nursery-friendly Pinky Pig or bold brights for a playful toy.

I sometimes change the yarn weight and hook size to make a mini keychain version or a larger cuddle-sized pig; swapping yarn and adjusting the hook works wonders.

I often replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes for a more child-safe version; simple stitched features can be just as expressive and softer for little ones.

Try adding tiny felt or crocheted accessories like a scarf, hat or little apron to personalize the pig and tell a story with its outfit.

I recommend experimenting with embroidered eyelashes or changing eyebrow shapes to create different facial expressions and personalities.

If you want posable limbs, I will add thin, insulated wire inside the arms and legs before stuffing so the pig can hold a pose.

For seasonal variations, I make the sweater in festive colors or add a small felt heart appliquÉ for Valentine-themed gifts.

I like to mix yarn textures — a fuzzy yarn for the sweater or boucle for the basket — to add tactile contrast and visual interest.

To create a matching set, I make multiple corn colors and baskets in coordinated hues and gift them as a farmer-themed trio.

Don’t be afraid to modify stitch counts or add rows to increase dress length or leg height; small adjustments let you scale proportions to your taste.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during rounds can cause miscounted increases and decreases; place a marker at the start of each round to keep track. ✗ Not stuffing gradually results in lumps or a misshapen head; stuff small amounts as you go, especially before closing decreases. ✗ Forgetting to change colors exactly where indicated leads to messy stripes; switch yarns cleanly and carry or weave ends to the wrong side. ✗ Crocheting too tightly on small hooks makes the fabric stiff and hard to assemble; relax your tension slightly for more flexible seams. ✗ Not positioning safety eyes at the correct rounds will make the face look off-balance; attach eyes between rounds 15-16 with the recommended spacing.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the ears between rounds 4-7 of the head, aligning the inner edge so both ears mirror each other and secure with small whipstitches.
  • Attach the safety eyes between rounds 15-16 with approximately 14 stitches between them, then embroider eyebrows above each eye spanning 4 eye-circles.
  • Sew the nose to the middle of the face between rounds 18-22, centering it under the eyes and secure firmly with the long tail left for sewing.
  • Knit or embroider the mouth under the nose using the wrapping technique shown in the photos; finish shaping and secure ends inside the head.
  • Sew the tail between the two legs at the back center, then position and sew legs to the bottom of the torso ensuring symmetry and balance.
  • Sew the sleeves to the sides of the shoulder at round 35 and pin parts first to check placement before permanently stitching in place.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers at the beginning of each round to keep your stitch counts accurate, especially during increases and decreases.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and evenly as you progress; avoid overstuffing to maintain shape and ease sewing of parts.
  • 💡Pin all parts in position before sewing to check placement symmetry and to prevent shifting while you stitch them permanently.
  • 💡Weave in ends as you go to keep the finishing work minimal and tidy when the project is complete.
  • 💡Work with consistent tension and periodic stitch counting to ensure final measurements match the finished size guidance.
