Difficulty Level: Easy
Using this description, you can crochet a piglet with a daisy. Any semi-cotton yarn will do for amigurumi, such as YarnArt Jeans or Alize Cotton Gold. All parts are crocheted in a spiral unless otherwise noted. Claws and nostrils are embroidered with the same yarn. Use safety eyes. Sew the flower to the piglet’s head.
Materials and Tools:
- Yarn YarnArt Jeans: 18, 01, 53, 67, 20 for the tongue
- Hook 2-2.5 mm
- Toy eyes 12 mm
- Stuffing for toys
- Stitch markers
- Pins
- Needle for sewing parts
- Scissors
Abbreviations:
MR — magic ring
ch — chain
sl st — slip stitch
sc — single crochet
inc — increase
dec — decrease
(…) x n — repeat n times:
Legs:
- 8 sc in MR (8)
- 8 inc (16)
- (1 sc, inc) x 8 (24)
- (2 sc, inc) x 8 (30)
- 30 sc in back loops only (30)
6-8. 30 sc (30) - (13 sc, dec) x 2 (28)
- (12 sc, dec) x 2 (26)
- (11 sc, dec) x 2 (24)
- (10 sc, dec) x 2 (22)
- (9 sc, dec) x 2 (20)
14-22. 20 sc (20)
Fold the part in half and crochet 10 sc through both walls, sew a few stitches with pink thread at the bottom to visually create hooves.
Sew all parts symmetrically to the body, for this I recommend using pins, pin paired parts and alternately sew, so the arms and legs will not “shift” and the toy will be even.
Daisy:
With yellow color crochet 6 sc in MR.
With white color crochet (4 ch and sl st in the next stitch) x 6.
Then 3 ch, yo, pull up a loop in the resulting arch, yo, pull up a loop, repeat 6 times, resulting in 6 yos and 6 loops in one arch, then crochet all together and make 3 ch and sl st in the same arch.
You get a petal with a common top. Crochet each resulting arch this way. I sewed the daisy on top, but it also looks very beautiful on the side.
