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:

1. 8 sc in MR (8)
2. 8 inc (16)
3. (1 sc, inc) x 8 (24)
4. (2 sc, inc) x 8 (30)
5. 30 sc in back loops only (30)
   6-8. 30 sc (30)
6. (13 sc, dec) x 2 (28)
7. (12 sc, dec) x 2 (26)
8. (11 sc, dec) x 2 (24)
9. (10 sc, dec) x 2 (22)
10. (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.
