Crochet pig patterns to explore
1. Paisley the Pig
Jess Huff first released Paisley in 2021, then reworked her in January 2026 with a low-sew design, simpler assembly and new photos and video tutorials. If you made the older version, this one is meant to be easier to put together. The page has photo and video tutorials, a gauge section and notes on yarn, so it suits someone who wants clear guidance for a proper toy.
2. No-Sew Crochet Piggy
This little pig is worked in super bulky yarn (Premier Parfait Chunky) on a 4.5 mm hook, with 6 mm safety eyes and a bobble stitch, and it finishes at about 3.5 inches (9 cm) long. Fay says gauge is not important, but you should keep the stitches tight so the stuffing does not show through.
3. Pocket Pal Pig
The Pocket Pal Pig gives you two yarn options. Medium (4) weight yarn on a 4.0 mm hook makes the smaller pig, and light super bulky (6) on a 5.5 mm hook makes a bigger one, each needing about 75 yards of the main color and 30 of the accent. The eyes come as 10.5 mm or 15 mm safety eyes, and because safety eyes are not suitable for children under 3, the video shows how to embroider sleepy eyes instead.
4. Free Crochet Pig Pattern
Petra Salisbury uses YarnArt Jeans, a fine sport (#2) cotton and acrylic blend, on a 3 mm hook: two balls of light pink and one of dark pink. The finished pig is 9 inches (23 cm) seated and 13 inches (33 cm) from ears to toes. She suggests any 100% cotton as a substitute, and her page links to a yarn guide with substitutes.
5. Pig Amigurumi Keychain
This is a mini pig for a keychain that takes about an hour. Mariska gives two sizes: a 6 cm (2 inch) cotton version on a 2.5 mm hook using Catania cotton, and a 10 cm (4 inch) velvet bulky version. If you want a bigger or smaller pig, use a thicker or thinner yarn and hook, which makes it good for using up leftover yarn.
6. Presley the Pig
Nicole Chase rates Presley as advanced beginner, so some prior amigurumi experience helps. You can make it with a durable acrylic yarn or a soft plush yarn, and the page has sections on assembly, tips for the best pig, and ways to customize it. The free pattern is on her blog, and an ad-free PDF is sold on Ravelry and Etsy.
7. Amigurumi Pig
Grace and Yarn’s pig is part of her farm animal collection, and it is a larger toy, about 13 inches tall in size 4 worsted yarn on a 3.5 mm hook. She says to adjust your hook size to your tension: go down a size if you crochet loosely. The post links to the other farm animals in the set if you want to make a matching one.
8. Crochet Piglet Amigurumi
This piglet is by Marizza Toys. It uses three shades of pink sport yarn (YarnArt Jeans) on a 2 mm hook, with 5 mm safety eyes and black thread for the eyebrows and mouth. It stands about 15 to 17 cm (6 inches) tall and the difficulty is easy to medium, so it is a small, detailed pig with an embroidered face.
9. No Sewing Pig
Elendipity started this because most people in the crochet groups she’s in do not like sewing, so every part is worked in as you go. There are two sizes: a small pig in Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6 on a 3 mm hook (12 g), and a big one in cotton 8/8 on a 3.5 mm hook (15 g). It uses a bobble stitch, and she recommends knowing how to do an invisible decrease.
