If you want to make a little pig amigurumi, you have come to the right address. I will have a great suggestion for you. First of all, I would like to thank Ekaterina Nikolaeva, who made the design. She has designed a really beautiful amigurumi. I suggest you to examine these amigurumi samples created with vibrant colors.
I really liked the details in this pig amigurumi. Even the folds in the ears look so great. This is a really long study and an example of experience. As you can see, small decorations were made in different colors. You can decorate with tiny bow ties. Or you can use a button on your body.
It can add difference. The eyes are made of buttons, and the amigurumi is made with eyebrows and a string. In fact, although it seems simple, I found it very realistic. A very cartoon film adds to the atmosphere. I especially liked his nose.
The different color on the nose made the design very realistic. Do not worry about the protrusion in your nose. I will share this with you in the pattern. “Himalaya Dolphin Baby” rope is used in this soft amigurumi. As you know, it is already a very popular brand of yarn.
In addition, a 4mm hook is used. After completing the amigurumi, its size will be 17cm. It’s a really big size.
If you share the amigurumi with me, I will be very happy. Now let’s crochet the pig amigurumi step by step.
